Thread: Leaded strops - Linen? Leather? Both?

lets be clear I don't advocate anyone doing something they don't think is safe, but my point is very clear there are dangers just as real and worse, that we do every day, and by the way I have people in my family who died in car wrecks because of drunks, I don't stop driving. I just don't agree that lead is your only enemy, but it gets the hairs up on people who choose to do unsafe things every day. the very worst is what we eat. there are is a line drawn I guess about what us as individuals will draw if its not something we use. as to the guy wanting to use lead, make your decisions based on your own way of life, it makes for a very smooth feel on your blade. or don't. I feel for you if someone you know died from lead contaminants, but I know many who haven't, and many who have died from everyday interactions from a host of other chemicals, good luck Tc
