 Our Nano Strop is designed for long sharpening strokes. This means fewer transitions and more angle control. Use it like a sharpening steel. It has a very low point load; this will keep the line of your edges from deforming over time.

Use it wet or dry. Nano-Strop is a superior edge maintenance tool

Abrasive : 1,10, 25 and 100 micron industrial diamond

New Abrasives : 3, 50, 200 micron industrial diamond

Abrasive length (long strop)  : 475 mm x 18 mm x 0.8 mm (14"x 3/4"x1/16" )

Abrasive length (short strop) : 270mm x 18mm x 0.8 mm  

More detail:

Nano Hone now offers seven micron strops - 1 micron, 3 micron, 10 micron , 25 micron , 50 micron, 100 micron and 200 micron abrasive. Use them as a daily maintenance tool. Click here for Grit Micron Comparison Chart 

You can use it hand held like a traditional steel or you can put it across your sink and use it as a fixed sharpening stone (long stroke). 

The diamond resin plate featured on top of the frame is 14” long. We do not know of any other sharpening stones this long. This allows for significantly longer strokes, which makes it much easier to maintain the same angle.

Conversely, short strokes mean you are transitioning more often at each end of the stone. It is harder to return to the same angle after the transition. Fewer transitions mean more consistent bevel angles.

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.

Finally, we have put the handle underneath the frame. This makes holding the frame a very natural extension of your arm.

The Answer

I have tried leather strops with many compounds for years with limited hit and miss results. Then I bought the 3 micron 475mm Nano Strop. This strop is the answer. I will never go back to traditional leather and fight with compounds again.

Thank you for your great review. We're happy to hear you get good results using Nano Strop.

These are the best strops on the market.

I use the 100 and 10 micron everyday. They are fantastic to maintain the edge butchering all day.

Well done Hap!

Best stropping tool for EDC knife maintenance!

Picked up a 3 micron strip at Blade Show 2023. 3 micron provides what I need to touch up and maintain my EDC knives including Maxamet and CPM 15V! Touched up a new M390MK knive a picked up at the show and now I “Own the edge!” Outstanding design, materials, and execution. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Pete!
Thank you for visiting our booth at the Blade Show '23! We're happy to hear our diamond resin stone meet your expectations. We will try to increase our production so that we will be possible to expand the sizes too. Keep connected with Nano Hone!

1 micron -- good but...

I have the long, 1 micron strop and I have mixed feelings about it. I love the length. The stropping action is nice. It has decent feedback and it puts a nice finish on the edge. On the other hand, I find it awkward to use. I don't like using it at an angle, and the handle makes it awkward to use on a flat surface. What I end up doing is laying it on top of a leather strop with the handle pushing against the side of the table. It works, but the strop pokes into my stomach at the end of the stroke. It would be much better if the handle was removable, i.e., screwed in instead of glued in.

1 micron and 10 micron

I have two of these. I work with leather so I need very sharp, sustained edges. I get what I need with this product. Using the 10 micron first, then a 1 micron. For my kitchen knives the 10 micron works amazing!

Awesome product! Love it.

Hi Shawn,
