Stropping

[denverco]

In this same general idea anyone recommend a good sharpening kit for high end kitchen knives? There are so many options out there

Any of the angle guided sharpeners should you do fine. Lanksy (with diamond stones and sapphire stone), edge pro, wicked edge. On the single sided systems work up a burr, then switch sides. With the lanksy diamond stones I only use oil on the sapphire stone. A kitchen knife will probably be a 15 or 20 degree edge.

Won a strop last week on the ESEE forum. I've never used one before and was amazed at results. Next level of hand sharpening for me.
Anyone else using strops ?

Looks like a #3 jewelers rouge. Not a bad use for stropping.

I have a barber's strop. Front end is leather strop and the back is for green or white rouge. Used a few times but it is still chasing the edge.
