    Robert! That is just brilliant! The perfect base for a paddle strop! No chance of warping at all! Finally, another use for a Carborundum in addition to being great for axes, lawnmower blades and building foundations for skyscrapers.

    You just have to think outside the box a little bit.

    Hey, what have you guys got against Carbos? Some of them are great barber hones.

    Aww, c'mon. You known the edge coming off a Yugo is too rough to shave with. Don't be silly.

    I haven't honed on a Hugo before. Do you strip the paint first or just let it wear away ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I see the arrival photo...
    Carborundum... Great for setting the bevel on an ax.

    I am sure it will get used.

    Someone suggested gluing leather to it.
    A better idea is to glue a magnetic base.

    Jimmy! I am surprised at you. Of course you use it with paint on, the paint pigments are minerals! and green is chrome oxide!

    Only if its a red Yugo! The paint pigment for red is iron oxide and we all know that is to coarse! get a green one!
