Thread: Tonights homework

Square edges on:

Vintage red latigo
SRD buffalo
SRD modular w/bridle & premium
Kanayama 60000

So it seems it's mostly the vintage strops that have em and more so the higher end ones. So do you think it makes a difference in daily stropping?

I'm glad someone brought up the strop chamferring issue. I have been wanting to chamfer my strops for years and never had enough motivation. As a result of this thread, I grabbed my bridle strop and did the deed moments ago.

I will do the rest of my strops asap. Good thread, good idea and thanks for bringing it up.........

The vintage strope I bought is beveled with a very nice finished edge and it makes sence to have a finished edge so the heel of the blade doesnt grab or should I say drag heavy . What would I know im new . kellyw

I forgot to mention that all my knife sheaths I make I bevel the edges and burnish to finish them off and make them look nice . It makes sence to do a strop

Hi,

All my leather strops, both hangers (5) and paddles (10) have chamfered edges on the working side.

have fun !
