Leather products are items made from animal hide, usually cowhide. Two common leather products are strops and TOTES. A strop is a strip of leather used for sharpening knives or razors. It is usually attached to a handle and can be used to hone the blade of a knife or razor. TOTES are bags made of leather, often used for carrying items such as books, groceries, or other items. They are usually large and have handles or straps for easy carrying.
