I think it's a well known thing. Useful too. Just wait until someone sees this who's against the HHT. I'm getting my popcorn ready.

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

Is that the HHT? I thought he was stitching a frilly edge onto the blade.
The real question is which level of the HHT are Torrey talking about? I mean, we all know if it is a HHT less than 3.65 a strop probably won't fix that. And what if you have a non-uniform HHT distribution along the edge? How does a strop handle that?
I think this is ad is factually incorrect in many ways, and deliberately misleading in others.<This signature intentionally left blank>
