Chris, I have my buffer more for tobacco pipes and stems than anything else. I've dabbled with buffing a razor but I don't have the guts to really get into it. Your picture of that butcher knife up against that wheel gives me the shivers. I've had a tattoo machine frame grab the wheel and come whizzing past my head or hit me in the chest more than once.

I do try to buy USA made regardless whenever possible. I know that people all over the world are trying to feed their families and have a right to make a living. I respect that but OTOH, we here in the USA have seen such a dramatic decline in the manufacturing base that made this country what it was that I am a bit 'nationalistic' when it comes to making that choice. Not isolationist BTW, just trying to look out for our own a little bit.
