I'm looking at getting a paddle strop as my first strop.
Ive got experience with knifes and carving tools on paddle strops, and i think i would be most comfortable this way.
Also having two sides will let me make use of one side for compound to finish after honing.
this is the one im looking at 12" XL Double Sided Paddle Strop
any advice as to paddle strops, or any advise in the opposite direction?
