Made by Mieke takes inspiration from whatever comes her way. Wood, leather and other materials are the basis for the products and are all reused and sustainable. The wood of the paddle strop is made from oak wood and the leather is saddle leather.

A paddle strop is an essential tool for anyone serious about maintaining and keeping razors, kitchen knives and other cutting instruments sharp. The paddle strop is a flat, sturdy board where both sides are lined with leather or strop material.

Using a paddle strop is simple but effective. To sharpen a knife, the blade is rubbed along the slings with light pressure and a consistent motion. The leather helps polish the blade and remove microscopic burrs, while the canvas or linen helps realign the cutting edge.

A paddle strop provides stability during the sharpening process, resulting in even and consistent sharpening. The flat design makes it easy to use different sharpening polishes for material removal and final finish

Besides sharpening knives, a paddle strop can also be used to maintain already sharp knives, helping them retain their cutting ability between sharpenings. Regular use of a paddle strop can extend the life of a knife and ensure optimal performance.
