Kamisori clean-up. Odor from cr-ox?
So I picked up my first Kamisori that needed a "little" work. It came out pretty good, has just enough good hard steel at edge to be useful. Hard to tell from pics, but u can see layers in blade like damascus. about 50 in polished area. Also gives off a very strong metallic odor when stropped on Cr-Ox balsa.

I love the smell of steel. Makes me feel like I am doing something useful. Sawdust has the same effect.

'Tis evil..
I prefer to burn the real thing.
My flinter works better with charcoal.
I like the smell of steel as well.
Wet dog stink I can do without, however, since I happen to have two dogs, I get exposed to it anyway.
As for steel smell? I notice that when I'm sanding a razor sometimes.
