Thread: TI paddle

Any one own the 4 sided paddle that TI . If so what are they like for pasting i have had the TI wide double sided paddle and i just don t like the leather they suplie for paste they are very hard and don't feel smooth .

i no the 4 sidded paddle s have diferant grains so i'm not sure wheather to get one or not any advice would be apreciated

Why not get one of the SRD paddle strops?

They're two sided and have had great reviews!

because i want to paste 4 sides

Send Steve at the Invisible Edge an email. The guys a true gentleman and should be very helpful.

I have the same strop as you btw, and think its great as a leather strop, but not so great for pastes. I use CromOx on a hanging strop instead.

Why don't you try Tony Miller's four sided paddle strop. I hear it is top of the line.

It will be a tm paddle they are far better with nice leather my mate has one. I just thought as i'm in the uk i can get hold of ti 4 sided from steve and the bio paste but i'm not sure if i would like the ti 4 sided with the leather they use are not for me.

i have livi loom with cro ox and hanging canvas with ti rasoir pate and i have to say i get far better results from hanging strop with the TI pate compared tom the paddle. I wanted to try the new bio paste from ti i will need four sides to aply 4 hanging strops would be in the way

TI tell me that they include the 6 micron paste as it cuts very quickly and is ideal if you have a very small nick to remove that maybe doesn't warrant the hone or wish to restore the bevel somewhat. I have just been getting a Dovo En Vogue SS ready for a customer and used the Bio-Diam set-up for this. I have to say that the En Vogue is a classy looking piece but my experience is that it can be a beast to get a really good edge on - once there it's fine but getting it there can be time-consuming and before no I have had to resort to re-setting the thing completely.

Well - I tried this one on the 4-sided strop pasted with Bio-Diam, starting with 6 micron as the edge was er, a bit 'lacking' as we say here. Ten passes on the 6, then ten on the 3, 10 on the 1 micron followed by five on the 0.25 tamed it just fine and I finished it on Chromox to smooth it. Pinged the forearm hairs nicely and same with the HHT.

I am one happy user of Bio-Diam, I can tell you!
