Three questions: does this strop have also canvas strop or only leather? What kind of leather? Does leather strop have smooth and rough surfaces?

Its leather on both sides - smooth and rough - short and narrow - I don't know much about strops and I bought this a beginning to learn tool ... don't use it too much - maybe its my knives ...

Mine had a smooth leather side and a rough side and also had a felt belt with it and they are about 20 inches long. They work good.

I've looked at the tags and package as well and it has no mention of leather. Looks to be PVC padding and synthetic fabric.

I haven't found that I've needed to embed the strop with any compound, but I'm going to concur with Chris and say the suede side.I would suggest using a nice wet stone to do your sharpening and to just strop it on the smooth leather side of the strop. I only sharpen my blade about once every other month, but I strop heavily before and after shaving every day.

It looks like leather to me, so i clean it with leather wipes and just looks gorgeous. I've been using in photography studio for almost 2 yrs. as prop & still looks like new. I've recieved many compliments, just love it.

Hi..honestly, I'm not exactly sure but I do not think it's leather. I'm sure it's vinyl. Does it matter what the outside is? I absolutely love mine!

We haven't crossed that bridge yet so can't really tell. One big thing that made us get the canvas instead is the weight of the leather bag. It's quite heavy without anything inside. Completely empty. Just think how much heavier it'll be with your camera and all. I guess if you're seriously big and strong and don't mind carrying a heavy bag for however long, get the leather bag. Another thing to consider is the need to be a little more careful with the leather. It's distressed but a scratch would still be more obvious on leather than on canvas. Both are beautiful though for sure. Good luck! We haven't crossed that bridge yet so can't really tell. One big thing that made us get the canvas instead is the weight of the leather bag.

This is a thick, sueded piece of leather. That means it does not have a slick, water resistant surface. Suede can be cleaned with saddle soap but deep dirt may not come out completely.

Thank you for your interest in our product. This item that you are inquiring for is durable combination leather. Real leather will not be as easy to maintain during usage, unlike combination leather. Thank you and have a wonderful day! --FurnitureMaxx

Hi, I bought this to use as a leather strop for sharpening knives; I glued it to a piece of wood w/ contact cement, and it works great for that purpose. I did a little leather work many years ago, and it seems like this leather could be sewn with leatherwork needles - it's not that thick, but the thickness does vary throughout the piece I have. One side is finished & the other side is unfinished.

Yes, synthetic leather and vinyl are very durable. Would I use this product on leather? Probably not.

Yes, but mine was canvas, not leather, and it unravelled and the stitching came out after five hours. Good luck with yours...

I've forgotten the industry name for the stuff, but it is 'mostly' leather, a composite of ground up leather and synthetics which feels, acts, and smells like leather, is sturdy and authentic looking. The chair is attractive, has a nice 'hand' if you prefer to sit on on leather, and is a bargain. I suspect the frame will loosen up and fail long before the composite leather upholstery wears out. Ah, found it in Wikipedia, it's 'bonded leather', "...The US Federal Trade Commission recommends according to 16 C.F.R. Section 24: "For example: An industry product made of a composition material consisting of 60% shredded leather fibers may be described as: Bonded Leather Containing 60% Leather Fibers and 40% Non-leather Substances."[7] The Federal Trade Commission has said that "The guidelines caution against misrepresentations about the leather content in products containing ground, reconstituted, or bonded leather, and state that such products, when they appear to be made of leather, should be accompanied by a disclosure as to the percentage of leather or other fiber content. The guidelines also state that these disclosures should be included in any product advertising that might otherwise mislead consumers as to the composition of the product..."

I don't think this is real leather. But that doesn't mean it isn't quality. I have been using mine for a couple months. No problems.

No, it is not "real" leather. Some distributors are calling it Bicast leather which is described in Wikipedia as " A material made with a split leather backing covered with a layer of polyurethane that is applied to the surface and then embossed. Because it is only used for the backing, the leather portion of this material is generally not visible in finished goods made from Bicast. Bicast was originally made for the apparel industry for glossy shoes, and recently was adopted by the furniture industry. The resulting product has an artificially consistent texture that is easier to clean and maintain, as is the case with most plastic materials." That being said.. I am still quite happy with this purchase. It is holding up well to my grandchildren and my feet are propped up on it every night and the padding always returns to it's original form. The wood is not the highest quality out there but then neither is the price ;). It is perfect to have around the kids and just not worry about..and still look good in a common area.

Thanks for your questions. It is not really leather, the fabric is pressure variable cross grain PU leather, so it will a little smell. But only put it under the ventilation one days, the smell will slowly disappear. As for the color, we have black, purple, blue, Apple green, Mint green now. Because this item is hot-selling, some of colors are out of stock. We are stocking up again. Today, all the colors are avaliable, except black. The black will arrive about one week later.
