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.

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 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! Originally Posted by JimmyHAD
