I don't use oil stones any more, having moved on to the Japanese water
stones some time during the seventies - but what Harper showed me is
still what I do - and I haven't cussed while I was sharpening for a
good long time - in memory of those who taught me.

Thanks ... that brought back memories of my furniture making grandfather, a
brand new Uncle Henry pocket knife, my first Arkansas stone, and an article
from the Scout Manual reprinted in Boy's Life magazine.
