This is something we all have trouble with, i made a strop from an old belt for use on Knives. But i purchased a Power Strop from Wood Craft it really works good, just be care full on the corners of small V tools and Vieners. I folded a piece of thin leather used super glue on the insde ,clamped for a few minutes to make a strop for the insde, of small viener’s . if you have any sharpening tip’s please share them.

I am a cancer survivor, i have 2 Fantastic Grandson’s. when time allows my Wife and I enjoy rideing our motorcycle .( we wish we could do this more often) I used to enjoy hunting but now i just dont have the time. I am a amature prospector, havent found much but it’s still fun. I have always enjoyed nature. If i had a spectialy it would be carving hound dog’s. the craft festival’s we do are mostly at College’s we demonstrate Carving, and at a few trade school’s
