The chief feature of theinvention consists in fermin a Single razor stro) out of two stri s of l baerr to back. formed simply of leather, and the other has an abrading material in it, such as powdered emer'y, or the like. This abrading material is hold` imposition by one of' the strips of leather being. provided with a large, number ofeonieali holes whieh are filled with pow dared emery, andthen the two Strips are gl'neditogetheigtle ernery being between the two-'stati s and: working through small outlets'off tlie holes in the outer surface o'l' said atrial) offl'eatliei'-,

One surface of the strop is l The Strip of table or the like, and is 'covered with powdere emerytl, or like comminuted nbrading material, and rubbed in so that aan] abrading material will fill all the holes. lThen a coating of glue or cement. t4, or like etrong adhesive. material, is spread over the inner surface of said leather strip lt and =over the powdered emery 13, and the other the razor andl sharpen it.

leather s tri) is a plied thereto with the iuner unfinis ed side upon said glue-covered surface of the leather strip 11 and the two leather strips are firmly pressed together, so that they will be securelyy glued together. The glue or cement. 14 is s own exaggerated iu Fig. 3 for the sake of elearuesa, but iu practice the layer of glue would not be. relatival)Y as thick as there Shown.

I do not wish to be limited to any partit-u- :m5v particular abrading material, as all that is r uired is that the unliniahetl inner sides of t e two strips of leather be firmly united, with powdered emery, or the like, held in place between the strips of leather with `the outlets for the emery through ont)r one of the strips of leather.
