Leather strop with Koyo paste
In Japan, you will see chefs using a leather strop rather than a masat. Japanese steels are harder than masat, and simply have no effect.
We use the leather strop to keep our knives sharp and as the final polishing stage when sharpening. The special pressed leather has the perfect texture for this task, and in combination with the Koyo green paste based on chromium oxide will allow you to achieve perfect sharpening results every time.
The leather strop is built on glass to ensure an absolutely flat work surface and has two leather feet to prevent slipping during use. Koyo paste comes in a 50g piece and will last you a long time, because it is consumed very slowly.
Material : pressed leather/ glass
Dimensions: 210mm x 75mm
How to use : Lay the leather strop on a flat surface or raise it on a sharpening stand, apply chrome oxide paste like chalk, and then, in the direction opposite to the blade, draw the knife over the surface. The more you go through the knife, the more polished the blade will be. When you have a sharp knife, before the work shift you can maintain it on the leather ceiling and thus prolong its sharpness. The task of the leather taper after sharpening on the stone is to remove the wire and fine polish the blade. Recommended for all types of blades, especially Japanese. The advantage of using it is that you cannot scratch or damage the knives on it, and it is very easy to use.
Do not wet or wash the leather ceiling. The glass part is fragile. Store it in a dry and safe place.

How to choose the first Japanese knife?
If you are buying your first Japanese knife, the advice is to choose a multifunctional blade shape that will cover the widest range of your needs in the kitchen. This includes Gyuto, Santoku and Bunka. The rule is that bigger people need bigger knives and vice versa.
Japanese knife as a perfect gift
Although in the culture of the Far East it is not recommended to give a blade as a gift because of the connection with cutting off good relations, they also could not resist the perfection of such a gift, so they devised a "trick" that allows them to gift knives without problems. Just ask for one coin from the person receiving the gift and in the eyes of strict superstition spirits it will be a fair exchange. Now no joke, a knife is a gift that unlike other transient things will be remembered forever because it will serve forever.
