“BIG ROO” Large Bench Strop.

Description

STROP DESCRIPTION AND STATS.

(Great for handheld use or bench-top setup).

SSC specialises specifically in hand-made Kangaroo leather strops – all proudly made in Australia.

These premium, class leading tools are the result of endless prototyping and relentless standards – utilising specifically selected advanced and unique materials.

This full size, heavyweight strop, is made from a combination of a piece of naturally finished, premium, thin cut Kangaroo leather – approximately 1.5mm/0.06″ thick, that is then mounted flesh (suede) side up, to a 20mm/0.8″ thick, precision CNC cut piece of gloss black poly-carbonate.

Combined these materials make for a completely flat, light weight, hard-wearing strop. These strops will accept any stropping abrasive you choose to charge them with and need an occasional cleaning/erasing for a like new results and long lifespan.

All SSC. hand-made products are top tier and I aim to produce tools of flawless workmanship, having every piece undergo a stringent QC process, ensuring you get nothing but the best, first time – every time.

Benefits of Kangaroo Leather.

Kangaroo leather is so effective due to it’s unique properties.

The exceptional performance of Kangaroo leather is driven by its lightweight, dense, smooth fibre structure that contains naturally occurring ultra-fine silicates. Derived from the animal’s selective diet of tough native grasses and vegetation, these microscopic abrasive minerals are present throughout the hide in significantly higher concentrations especially when compared to that of cow or horse hide.

Its tightly woven fiber structure, outstanding tensile strength, dimensional stability and natural abrasion resistance place Kangaroo leather in a class of its own. Despite being lighter than cow or horse hide, it is considerably more resistant to deformation, greatly reducing the “wave” effect common in thicker, more malleable leathers. Under pressure, those softer, spongey leathers can flex and roll over your apex, dulling your edge.

Kangaroo leather is also an exceptional abrasive substrate. It performs remarkably well when used bare, while performing exceptionally well with any abrasive you choose to charge it with.

The result is a premium, edge-friendly stropping surface that is lightweight, stable, naturally abrasive and exceptionally durable, designed for a lifetime of high performance.
