You gotta think with the plethora of strop treatments available back then, most just pasted the strop and shaved.
Best as could be done for some?
The bevel got more and more rounded. Spine got some wear as well.
Now here we are trying to find the edge whilst going through real estate.
At least WE have tape! :D
Larga vida la cinta
I just KNEW you were a pasted-strop man, Hirlau! :rofl2:Quote:

Nice efforts Tom. I noticed on that spike as well, an inordinate amount of effort to bring the edge back all the way along. Was on the green chosera as well. Changed the strong tape, a few times over an hr to finally be happy I could move on. Can see it had stone wear on the spine, but rounded damage from a strop I never really considered. But back in the day, no tape, less options to find stones etc, they did whatever they needed to do to stay sharp..
Never have, Never will. :shrug:Quote:

Set it on a stone and swipe it a bit.
Look at it! Crazy!
Makes no sense to think otherwise?
Was a joke, son! A Joke!Quote:
