Sweet! Simpleman also sent me a strop (see above photo). Let me show you all what I was using. No laughing!
 
I know I said I had to stop for a little bit because I'm broke but I don't want to see this die. I have a surefire E1e executive elite up for grabs. Only request is you put something up to keep this going. It might take me a little to ship but I will get it to you.
 
Great Whet, I'm glad it made it safely. I am always surprised how much a strop will do to finish an edge.
 
NYOutdoors and Simple Man - hope you don't mind if i share your generosity with the thread. Items arrived today, and i don't really know what to say other than THANK YOU!!!

Simple Man offered to make 2 strops to pay forward, i was too slow to claim one. He generously made a third and sent it to me, giving of his time, money, and talent. I used it on my gayle bradley today and it is hair popping once again. Just amazing.

NYOutdoors, behind the scenes with no recognition, bought me my first Becker. Not only that, he also included a mora, and a kydex sheath! (when you said there would be a surprise in the mail, i had no idea it would be something like this). I know of several other situations like this where others are giving behind the scenes, this thread is truly inspiring. Thank you again guys, you put a huge smile on my face today :)

Awesome dude!! Looking good! You are so welcome man, enjoy!!
 
Shipping update: Allen R, you Calypso Jr is en route, should be there Thursday.

NYOutdoors, your esee is on the way and should be there Thursday as well. Also i dug up my old Cold Steel Recon, please tell your friends in the service thank you from us.
 
If you ever do manage to wear it down to the point needing to reload it, you can get some regular ole' Mineral Oil from the pharmacy, and Green Rouge from Lowes/HD with the grinders/buffers. Put a bit of oil on it, and rub the rouge in, it will almost "melt". I doubt you will have to reload it for years though.

I also have an old belt I use with MAAS metal polish on it, but most any will do. Mother's, Flitz, Simichrome, etc. I think MAAS has just a *bit* of grit though, not just chemical, works better for me.

Wow that's awesome! Way to go NYOutdoors! Whetstone39 is very deserving.

Someone was giving out a Leatherman Wingman in the last thread. Did that ever get claimed? If not I'd love to have it. I've been meaning to get a Leatherman for my EDC. I like that the Wingman has the pocket clip.
 
Strops aren't hard or complicated to make at all. I do collect leather where I can (belts, flea markets and such) and use scrap wood for a firm base. Glue (contact cememt/wood glue) nail it down, bury the heads, and load it as I mentioned above. Progress!!!
 
Fatwood is on the way to NikkiR,Simple Man & Lobo13 & a Leatherman to PaulTR,enjoy ya'll.
 
My turn! I had a little something from Clockman waiting on me today.... :D

A rainy evening isn't the best time to take pictures, but you get the idea.
Thanks, Clockman!

Little do they realize that half the fun is getting the fatwood. ;)

Glad to hear PaulTR got a Leatherman. Sounded like he could use it.
Speaking of, I have one to send out to another member when I get a chance to break away from work.
 
No problem. That's the only thing I didn't like it's to small. I forgot how long it's been since I sharpened it was it still sharp?

It wasn't bad. I'll get it screaming sharp here in a little bit. Playing with it right now. The knife, that is...
