Looking at how they work I'm a bit fuzzy on how it'll sharpen a curved knife.
Cause it swings like a pendulum

You move the sharpening rod back and forth with the grain of the blade only sharpening with the forward strokes.
The side movement is to allow for various lengthed blades and curved blades

Lanskis made a similar version ages ago but with a price tag to match, very good sharpener but couldn't afford 1 so this is the next best thing that I could find.
Apparently roo leather is good but have not found much on it so far to read up on.
Cow leather is still best as it's far more durable and more available. Looking around, the average thickness is around 3-4mm so I am guessing around the 8-10oz rating. Old man is letting me have his strop when he finds it.
I may look at getting 1 like TD posted earlier as I don't think his will last very long as it hasn't been used in who knows how long.
