    Reasonably Priced Knives That Work!

    The ball bearing honey badger flippers open very easily even when wearing gloves. This gut hook skinner works great for slicing seat belts and air bag curtains. Many models all under $40 except for the ones with D2 steel.

    Can sharpening become trendy?

    I have the stropping bug really bad! Recently added a horse butt strop which is pure magic. This after some very basic freehand sharpening on a Norton India stone followed by a a Shapton pro 2k. I do however still envy some of the edges I have seen that have come off the Wicked Edge and some of...

    Cheap but surprisingly refined knives?

    I have recently started buying a few of the Mora fixed blades. Not real heavy duty but great value for money. On the folder side the Honey Badgers have been great value ($32-$36). They seem to be adding new models and features which is nice. The ball bearing action flipper is very slick. I...

    Some DIY strops

    @RA40 pleased that my post motivated you! Post a photo when you're done. @earlthegoat2 yes I agree. I have made one with smooth side up no compound and also tried smooth side up with compound.

    Some DIY strops

    John, my neighbor is in the leather business and he gave me this whole roll of leather. I cut pieces to size wet it and then rolled it with a heavy roller to harden it up. Then melted some of the green compound with some mineral oil and applied it to the dry leather. I then left the completed...

I found the paddle strop to be a bit light weight so then made a 12" x 3" version. Both coated with Dialux green compound. Results so far have...

Cleaning afterwards was also very easy. The dirt, lead etc. just wiped out. It was also very good for anti-corrosion treating almost any...
