Product Info for NANOHONE Nano-Strop NS-3010

The Nano Strop is designed for long sharpening strokes. This means fewer transitions and more angle control. Use it like a sharpening steel. It has a very low point load; this will keep the line of your edges from deforming over time.

Long, Flat Sharpening Surface

The ceramic sharpening stone featured on top of the frame is 13 7/8” long. We do not know of any other ceramic stone this long. This allows for significantly longer strokes, which makes it much easier to maintain the same angle. Being an inch wide and flat is a significant advantage over a steel because it distributes the point load over a wider section of the edge. A round steel has a very high point load because it has such a small contact area. The steel tends to deform the edge rather unevenly. The Nano Strop will tend to maintain the overall line of the edge over time because of its distributed point load. Finally, we have put the handle underneath the frame. This makes holding the frame a very natural extension of your arm.

Handheld or Sink Top Use

A handle is mounted on the bottom of the 19-3/8" support bar near one end. Use the handle to hold the Nano-Strop like you would a traditional sharpening steel for fast touch ups anywhere. Or, take advantage of the non-slip silicone mounted on the bottom of the bar by placing it over a sink and use the Nano-Strop as you would a bench stone.
