The rolling X stropping motion on the heel of his hand gradually across the edge of the blade from heel to toe to heel and to toe again is pretty cool

The Mastro is amazing. I couldn't begin to strop like that. At first I was surprised at how much force he appears to be using on the strop but watching it again I realized that the edge would have to be barely touching the linen/leather.
I have one of his loom strops and I have always just used the weight of the blade on the linen. When I first got it I was surprised that the linen was so liberally coated with crom ox. Some people say less is more with any paste. The loom strop works just spiffy as it is though.
A true Artisan. I'll bet he sleeps well every night after swinging that hammer all day.:rock:
that's great! I need to book a flight to italy
Truly a master at work.
Thx for posting those, Lynn!
Wow that blade is massive! And what a cool way to do a hair test...
