The Strop and Slip Set is a compact and convenient solution for maintaining the sharpness of your green woodworking tools. Designed to cater to a variety of tools, but primarily round or curved edge tools, this set includes everything you need to keep your edges razor-sharp and ready for work. Whether you're working with spoon knives, crook knives, carving gouges and adzes, this set offers a methodical approach to achieving supreme edges and a fantastic mirror finish.
If you're primarily looking to sharpen flat edge tools such as knives or chisels, we'd recommend the Sharpening Set over the Strop and Slip Set. They could be sharpened with the flat strips included in this set - but the Sharpening Set is definitely more suited.
