Thread: Pike Strop Hone with case

Scored this very nice condition Pike Strop Hone recently and it has a original Leather storage case in top condition also.




I spent literally 5 minutes in total cleaning it all up
I didn’t try pull it apart as I didn’t want to bugger anything up trying to get it apart forcing it,
first a light wipe with a damp cloth to clean it up
then lapped the hone with 320 W&D for about minute if that until pencil grid lies were gone, I think it may have only been dirt as most was gone in about 20 strokes nearly on it,
then lapped about a minute with 2k W&D
gave the hone & strop leather I light wipe with some glycerine to clean it up & similar with the outside of the box only
the leather is very thin & subtle with a nice feel to it.
now I’m torn between my Pike Swaty & this to be my travel hone LOL
very happy with this find
