Stone to sharpen with a few (and yes, it only takes a few) passes on
plain leather to give the finest finish.


I use a Smith's Crock stick on my Case pocket knives then do a few strokes
on an old barber shop strop. My knives probably equal a surgeons scalpels,
so much as touch the edge and you are bleeding. I hate it when someone wants
to use my knife, I know what's fixing to happen, even when I warn them they
have to see for them selves by testing the edge with a finger. RM~
