Strop nanocloth 6 "x 1"

Jende Nanocloth is a synthetic stropping material that has no weave, so feedback is the same in all directions. Other weaved strops tend to have noticeable resistance change feedback variations, like a rug when vacuuming, which can make you second guess your stropping stroke. The Honeycomb structure is very consistent. The shape allows the emulsions to fill up the honeycombs, keeping more abrasive on the strop and off your knife. The shape also fills up and beads on the surface, giving a snow-shoe effect with even scratches when stropping. The depth of the honeycomb has little compression – less than leather in general. Because of the depth of abrasive in the honeycomb tubes, differential pressure can be used to give the strop more or less aggression by adding pressure for more aggression, and super light strokes to just tickle the edge for finish stropping.

Nanocloth strop is mounted on a color acrylic plate and high-quality aluminum blank. We offer a few variants of the strop with different colors for easy identification. Each color corresponds to micron marking.

Working with nanocloth is similar to working with leather. Gently slide the cutting edge over the strop, repeating 20-30 times for each side of the blade. The motion should avoid damaging the nanocloth with the cutting edge.
