Thread: Self-Honing Strop

So crocus would be finer than crox?

Interesting article. My observation is this; it easier for a clumsy guy like me to bump the edge using a fixed wood strop, especially when I am building speed. 80+ passes on a fixed platform is a lot of work this way.

The answer obviously is to gain more skill and don't bump the edge, but I dunno. When the edge bumps its a disaster.

As compared to the hanging. Which, by the way I do find hard to keep perfectly taut.

Interesting article indeed. I did a search for crocus but it seems it is hard to come by. Luckily, CrOx is readily available. I imagine crocus went out of style when technology allowed better solutions. Thinking I might try to make one, some day. Nice to have future projects planned
