Thread: Modular paddle review (video)

My dear, Thomas:

I am impressed with your video.

Your tone is warm and conversational, your eye contact good. The product description is comprehensive and exceptionally well done: it is clear and easy to understand.

Your work is quality stuff. Thank you you.

Regards,
Obie

Great review! Thanks for filming that..!

I'm going to have to get one of these, they really are a brilliant bit of kit!

Good job on the review Thomas.
I have watched all of them you have done, and you always do a fine job.

Makes me want to run out and buy a modular paddle.

My first order getting into straights I bought a Dovo 4 sided paddle and loved it. I still use it all the time.
It helped me learn how to keep even contact on the paddle which helped when I started honeing

I think that it is easier for a newbe to use the paddle since he does not have to worry about how tight to keep the strop. He can focus on even contact with the blade.

If the modular paddle had been available then I would have bought it instead of the Dovo 4 side.

Thank you for the review.

I'm seriously thinking of getting one just to try the .5 diamond spray. so the edge is all good with the sray jimmy ,what dkifferance do you find it gives to the edge smoothness and slightly keener? how many laps are you doing . I have read some fokes say it is harsh . I should imagine if you over do it you will have harsher edge >so less is better .

Try adding felt to the diamond spray as a foundation, this takes out a lot of the bite that you get when you put the spray on a stiff paddle strop. Lynn and some of the guys do that and it works well. Some other guys on here spray it on denim, I haven't tried it yet though, I hardly ever use pastes or sprays, I prefer the hones and just a stropping for sharpness.

I have to say it's one of the best gadgets i have seen.

Thank you for the kind words gentlemen.

The thing is, that I like to do these videos from a consumers point of view. Therefor it means a lot to me that you guys (other consumers) find them usefull.

Great review Thomas keep it up

Is there a video on how to apply the spray, and wait time and after drying some actions to do?

Also how do you clean the felt from time to time, is it even needed ever? I guess it would be to remove some swarth.

Thanks
