opinels are great -I buy and lose loads of em-they are made over here (well maybe in China now?) but anyway, all sorts of places sell em so you can usually buy another when you have put yours away in a safe place but forgotten where that safe place is (which is why its a safe place). they keep and take a good edge, the blade will stain but that does not bother me.They come in all sizes.F
For the strop, you don't need belts or owt like that, cut the tongue out of an old boot (not the wife) and glue it to a bit of wood rough side up, add solvol arseyole or proper compound according to taste and away you go. Used that for my plane and chisel blades when I was woodworking.
