Flexcut Wood Carving Tools | Flexcut SlipStrop | Polish and Debur Cutting and Carving Tools For Razor Sharp Blade Edges | Includes Polishing Compound | PW12 | Made in the U.S.A.

I have avoided buying something like this as I believed I did not need them. I was wrong as this works much better. I used a dowel which works fine if it fits the curve of the gouge - but I did not always have the right size but figured it was ‘good enough. I used scrap thin flat pieces on the straight sided ones, even though it was slower as you had to to both sides, but was not easy to get the point. I was teaching someone else how to sharpen and got this partially to show you don’t need, that my way was the best way. But this is both faster and it gives a better edge. So do yourself a favor and get one.

its a good tool. just take a moment and learn to use it

Works great to sharpen my tools, but I noticed some of the wood tends to shave off and stick on the inside V of my 1mm carving tool. I’m thinking it may just need to be sued a bit to get the extra shavings off.

Very nice, really helped sharpen my tools

This is exactly what I needed for stropping my flexcut tools. Very easy to use and convenient.

Many profiles to fit most flex cut gorges, for use with sharpening compound that comes with.

I have a set of Palm Carvers that are tricky to sharpen. This SlipStrop was exactly what I needed. Great item to add to your carving needs to keep the edge of your Palm Tools honed.

Because I only own straight edged knives, this strop really doesn’t do me any good. I own numerous strops for straight edged knives and was hoping this would find the very small beveled edge on the Flexcut knives. It doesn’t. It is made with all the curved or cupped blade shapes they make with only a very small flat surface area for straight or flat knives. It is made ok but quite small for any stropping job. So, I will be returning this but only because it doesn’t fit my need.

If you have Flexcut knives/carving tools this is an absolute must. A minute or so using this product before or after using your tools each time dramatically alters their cutting ability. I’m deducting one star as I feel this essential is a little overpriced for what it is.

Simple effective

als regelmatig linosnede wordt gemaakt, is deze slipstrop onmisbaar

Legit, I don’t know what else to say

J aiguisé mes gouges de gravure sur linoléum et bois avec et ça fonctionne à merveille. Très simple d utilisation, notice très détaillée fournie. Je suis ravie.
