Dont worry ,I have done it all the wrong way, Flipped my straight into the leather. Didnt hold it level ,nicked the edges,,,,If you can do it wrong I have already been there done that:banghead:. This produduct has held up. Dont get me wrong I dont like to fail.But if you or anyone else can learn from my mistakes. I will MAN up and tell about it. I already messed up my new Dovo Bismark and put too much pressure on it and put slice marks vertical up the blade, then tried to sand it off and gripped my sandpaper the wrong way and sanded off the Gold wash off the top....get the idea?? Its a great first strop..
