Thanked: 4830I’m a compulsive over stropper.
Typically it’s 100 linen, 200 leather, depending on my mood and the blade I may strop for 50 on leather treated with the argument creating, should never be specifically mention soft metal compound, before the linen and clean leather.
Horsehide is my current favourite leather. Scruppleworks linen is my favoured fabric compound, followed by hemp.It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!
