However, even a local, longtime custom boot maker uses leather strops to keep their cutting tools super sharp for producing their boots. They were even kind enough to supply me with some prime leather 'scraps' so that Glen could make us some bench strops (probably helped them get a boot sale as well). They knew exactly how and why these strops were necessary for maintaining a superior edge on a razor.
