I picked up this stop whit some stones and files at a flee-market. I already have two larger jigs with needs to lay on a flat surface butt this one can be held in a hand for stropping in in the sofa watching TV or in a boat fishing or what have you. I'm planing on making a couple of more for friends.

Type: Smooth side up fixed whit 3 deeply sunken nails per side
Material: Pine
Width: 2"
Length: 10"
Height: 1"

Arch is 1/2" deep, 6" long

Yes, its a real user. The hight of it enables you hold id like a sandwich an strop like you are buttering it.
 
I have been missing this knife for a while and when I found it in the workshop it had been pretty badly beaten up. So I put an new grind on it with 120, 400, 800 water stones. In this video take it from sharp to shaving sharp. I spent about 10 minutes on the strop. I keep the bevel flat against the strop with my thumb that a move slightly between the runs over the strop. I spent 2 minutes polishing it whit a polish rag for cars wrapped around the strop no compound. Enjoy
