JendeNanocloth 0.25 Micron Knife Strop 210x70mm (unloaded)-Premium Ultra bench knife Strop for Diamond Emulsions

Watched a Jende Industry's produced video demonstrating the process to load the nanocloth strop, I suggest this for anyone who is a first time buyer. With a fully loaded and dry strop I proceeded to use this strop as a final stage for newly sharpened knives and a polish and touch up for recently sharpened knives or unsharpened recent purchases. This strop was not used to remove burrs created from the act of sharpening. I had to reload the strop once, and the process followed was the same as the initial loading just using less CBN emulsion. Being my first and only nanocloth strop, I will compare it to a leather strop with the same CBN material. The knife blade has more drag on the nano cloth compared to leather, where on leather the blade seems to glide along the nanocloth grabs and this is great feedback to have. There was emulsion build up on the blades and I could see immediately the burnished gleam. Convex blades with no micro bevel, true Scandi, and v ground secondary geometries all felt the same and the results were the same. The nanocloth too quite a lot of emulsion on the initial loading, where leather took much less. The video claimed 3 to 4 mL to load and that seemed accurate for this large strop. The size and weigh are great, I did not have a holder and was able to use my fingers safely to keep the strop still on the glass table I use. The cloth is black and unlike leather the build up of metal cannot be observed, and I am more concerned with contamination with nanocloth than leather for this small issue. The cloth may have a little give to marginally wrap around the edge giving a little convex, but I am just guessing the effect is less than leather. If I find differently with more use I will make an annotation to this review. At 0.25 microns this strop was used as the last stage and as stated before all burrs were removed in earlier sharpening stages, but I would have no issues with using a nanocloth strop to remove a burr, as I don't think it is a fragile material. I will test this in further use and if I need to revise that opinion with contrary facts, I will update this review.
