3/4"x12" Leather Honing Strap Belt Review

I got this honing strap to keep in the kitchen. I'm hell on my kitchen knives and they were always getting dull and I would have to sharpen them. I got tired of sharpening them all the time and now I don't have to worry about it. I can keep them good and sharp. I never thought about honing my kitchen knives until I worked at a potato processing plant. While I was working there I happen to see some of the ladies using the side of a steel conveyer to hone the trimming knives. I thought that was brilliant and started doing it myself. And I now try to keep a honing strap around. With this, all I do is keep them honed. If you keep your knives honed they don't need to be sharpened. This is untreated raw leather and that makes it one of the best honing materials you can get and this belt is small enough to hang so it wont be in the way. The one thing about it I don't like is that it is a belt instead of a strap of leather. This makes it hard to use because its hard to keep a hold of. It takes some practice to be able to hold the belt and hone a knife with it but once you have it figured out it's not so bad.
