We are the owners of the sharpening school. With 15 years of sharpening experience, we can say that stropping  in the form of a leather plate on the table allows you to keep more control over the sharpening angle. Leather slings with handles are just as good, but holding it in your hand will make it springy, since our hand is not as hard as a table.
