This is a great feature of this strop. Quick and easy...like new!

Oach another great tip....thx for helping me out.I have learned so so much from you

so where does the metal go?

Thanks for the info my strop block looks like new now.

Very interesting. Looks like mine is loaded up too - I will have to give this a try later tonight.

I just bought it too!

I would think olive oil might turn rancid. I use neatsfoot oil.

You don’t use that bottle of Olive Oil to cook with I hope. LOL. Good Vid.

@fredde90210 Always glad to hear that. :)

@oTruffles Kershaw Tilt, I've done a couple videos on it. :)

@mickthepope I'm sure those would work, but KnivesPlus recommend olive oil, so that's what I use. In a pinch I highly doubt it matters though. :)

Can I use olive oil instead of mineral oil to load my strop for the first time set up

Good information, and well made crisp videos... Thank you. Some questions for you: -- Will the olive oil dabs which you demonstrate in this video work to recondition any loaded leather strop?... And have you tried it on other strops besides the "Knives Plus" strop block? - Do you use any wood carving knives and tools? - Have you ever used "Flexcut Gold" stropping compound? (Flexcut products are mainly used for wood carving knives}.... Again thank you for your efforts and these video demonstrations.

@mickthepope As far as WD40 goes, keep that stuff FAR away from a leather strop. It will clean the strop fairly well, but since it is a petroleum distillate it will also deteriorate the leather. :)

Nice, I actually need to do this. Mine is loaded with steel.

I just got this puppy. I got some mineral oil for it. I also have EVOO in the kitchen. I got the mineral oil bc i didnt want to have something rancid on it but apprently mineral oil has an expiration date aswell. I havent used it yet as im waiting for my UF rods for my SM. Any thoughts guys, knives plus says to only use EVOO, but do they even have a warrenty?

Jdavis could you use the diamond spray solution with this strop ?

I’m eyeballin that spyderco paramilitary

how when i strop my knives now i see green compound on the edge.

A couple of hundred of years! ha ha ha! Thanks for sharing.

Can someone post a link to the strop he recommends please and thanks

Mineral oil or vegetable oil is also good. These oils will not go rancid on your strop like Olive oil will. I've also heard of WD40 being used for the same purpose. Thanks for the viddie.

@jdavis882 I needz a Tilt! any news, John?

Can I get the info. To where u got that strop?

Have you noticed the $$$$ of any Olive Oil Lately.? Even @ Wally World.? It is expensive.?

shit i knew i should not have done this. my strop got very dark where i did this. I asked knivesplus a while back about if the strop gets dry or if there is anything I should do with it, they just said make sure you knives are clean but other than that its a hands off strop, and that they have been using one for 10 years without an issue. CRAP! got to buy a new one I guess. Does it have to be extra virgin? Knives plus did not say that.

What is the name of the knife second from the bottom on the far right?

I know I sound like an idiot because everyone else seems to have good luck with this strop, but mine came so dry that when I put olive oil on and rub it in lightly the thing is BONE dry within a minute again...

i have a big black area in the middle of mine that i cant get rid of

How would you recondition a normal strop? By normal I mean a strop that isn't saturated with compound. Also, when are you going to upload some sharpening vids? I miss watching you sharpen! lol
