I see on SRD they are out of stock. I did see something on Amazon, Green Chrome Oxide Compound, 6 oz. - Sharpening Stones - Amazon.com

Seems like it might be .5 micron due to the Q&A, but wondering about quality. Any other recommendations for sources?

I have a 2.5" wide black webbed and leather strop from SRD. Should I use this on the black webbing (I think a video from Lynn said I could), or should I use the rough side of the leather?

I'm thinking of getting a 3" bench or paddle strop, as I think it'll take away some of the variables with learning to strop well. I liked the modular paddle strop from SRD, but alas, it is out of stock too. I was thinking I could use the strop I have for pasting, and the bench/paddle for day to day stropping.

Suggestions?
