He obviously got good at it thru experience.
I was just quoting how he strops from his CD which as I said, is with a little slack & about 3lbs of pressure.
Different to what most folks here believe but it works for me and my edges are not rolled

Look at the amount of slurry he scrapes up onto the blade when he makes a stroke. when he flips the blade over it's sitting on all that scraped up slurry. When he makes the back stroke/circle he's mainly sliding the blade off of the accumulated slurry. You think there's anything to that?

Okay, okay, you win! Your edges aren't rolled.

I don't think it matters too much, but it can't be that hard to try.

Sorry if I'm off topic as this was a honing thread but this man's stropping style is a little different too.
Worth a look at the Mastro.

Pretty soon you'll have every bad example and self appointed expert corralled into one great thread . . . you can call it "What not to do"

What can I say ? You can always come here if you need a grin.
