The windmill knife strop is used to deburr and polish the blade after grinding with stones. It can be used on both sides. The body is made of steamed and oiled cherry wood and is equipped with leather in two different degrees of roughness:

10 microns (fine) and 20 microns (rough). The rough side is additionally coated with diamond powder.

The 20 microns (μ) corresponds approximately to the grain size JIS 800 or FEPA P1000 – the yellow side.

The 10 microns (μ) corresponds approximately to the grain size JIS 1500 or FEPA P2000 – the grey side. The windmill knife strop has a leather strap for hanging and comes in a sturdy fine-corrugated case. The dimensions are 300 x 40 mm, the thickness is about 20 mm and the total length is about 440 mm.

With the windmill knife strop you can bring the sharpness of your knives to the highest level. He polishes the sharpened blade very finely, which improves both the sharpness and durability of the cut. A fine grind is already required to use the strop. Unlike grindstones, you do not work against the cutting edge, but towards it.
