Thread: taped spine or not

So, as he says, try it…

Get a piece of cardboard, inside of cereal box ink the bevel, by running the side of a sharpie along the edge, this will ink the edge and a bit of both sides of the bevel.

Not strop on the edge of a table or counter, just plain cardboard. Is the ink removed at the edge?

You can try the same thing with your strop but you will get some ink on your strop.

Lots of folks write stuff on these forums, but it is easy enough to try these thing yourself and see the results for yourself, like the video of Glen honing off the effects of a taped bevel. My experience is that it takes even fewer laps than Glen used. And I was using a 12k stone.
