The Nano-Strop is designed for long sharpening strokes. This means fewer transitions and more angle control. With the Tiger Wood handle placed underneath the frame, it makes holding the strop very natural. This will allow it to be hand held like a traditional steel or you can put it across your sink, or on your counter and use it as a fixed sharpening stone. It has a very low point load which will keep the line of your edges from deforming over time.
Use it wet or dry for a superior edge maintenance tool available in 100, 25, 10, & 1 micron abrasives and offered in either 475mm or 270mm lengths.
Isn’t Nano-Strop just another kind of sharpening steel? No, not at all. Being 3/4 of an inch wide and flat is a significant advantage over a steel because it distributes the point load over a wider section of the edge. A round steel has a very high point load because it has such a small contact area. The steel tends to deform the edge rather unevenly. The Nano Strop will tend to maintain the overall line of the edge over time because of its distributed point load.
