Thread: nicked my strop today

Congrats! I did something similar a year or two ago with my grandfathers blade. I t was a lot of work but it is doable. I really loved the part where you talked about the water running up the blade instead of being pushed a sure sign of good honing. I also was impressed with the fact that you were willing to do hundreds of laps on a strop. Should you ever decide to start honing for fun and get the hones necessary I think you will do good. You have the inquisitive mind as well as the patience.
