Cabra, I can recommend a couple other things to try. Make sure there is no burr on the blade. Run your thumb nail in the direction from spine to blade and if your nail catches at all you have a burr (you have to check both sides). If you have a burr, you can just work the side with burr, on a strop with black compound, and it will knock it off pretty quickly. If it is a large burr or a misaligned edge you can steel the knife on both sides and then strop it again on both sides. Sand paper should be unnecessary once the edge has been converted to convex. I only use black (90% of the time) and green compound to maintain my edges. Remember to also use a light touch with the knife to the strop. The pressure to use is not much more than the weight of the blade.

Let me know how it goes or if you have any questions.

Good info Brian, thanks. I'm in the same boat. I can get them to cut paper, but not shave. But then I guess that's what a razor is for,,, :o

Keep at it mang. Been working on my double chisel necker, since this talk started going. I got part of the blade to shave. Now for the rest of it. This is the one that hit the pinto too,,, :p

Lite touch, like Brian said. It's damn tough to do, but seems to work well. :thumbup: :thumbup:
 
Today China announced a commuter train that has a top speed of 260MPH, almost as fast as Jeremy's knives move when they go up for sale. :thumbup:

While they have many more Crash Test Dummies than the USA, it is still concerning that our technology is waning for sake of politics, safety, religious groups, etc.

We have always led, but now it seems different. In other words wake up your neighbor or one day you may not be able to :eek:

Just Sounding off before I have to go there

RedbeAR15, I hate to say it, but imho the Euroatlantic civilization is beyond its zenith. We are obstructed by our own regulations regarding the environment, human rights, safety, intellectual property legislature and legislature at the whole, while the new economic tigers don't bother with anything of this.
I see a parallel with the ancient Roman Empire: those people got so soft and spoiled that in the end, they weren't able to even run their own state. I still hope that this time we'll make a difference...

(Sorry for such an elaborate, I'm bored at work today)

We'll see the wrong end of them, when they decide to collect our debt. :eek:

The sad thing is that it is going to get worse before it gets better. The United States needs to cut up it's metaphorical credit card and stop issuing so many Treasuries. China and India have trillions in the plus and we are running a trillion dollar deficit each year.
 
Good morning to you all.
Brian: I just made my self a bigger strop and want to load it with the black product from JRE, is there a specific way to do it or I just rub it on the leather? I mean heat it with a hear drier or something?
Thanks.
 
Hey Cabra - That D2 might take you a little longer, but your sand paper and leather should suffice while you wait on the compound.

I've never used the black, only the green. it came in the form of a large square crayon and you just rub it on the leather until you have nice uniform coverage. When it gets worn back down load it up again. When mine gets black, I take rubbing alcohol and a cloth and clean it up, then rub the green crayon on again.

Keep your plain smooth leather strop too

H8 to admit it, but Belgium is allready there,,, it's been well over 100 days since the last election and we still haven't got a new government,,, :rolleyes:

Problem here is that we have like 5 seperate governments and they all want a (big) piece of the state's income:
1 Federal Government
1 Flemish Government (dutch speaking part of the country)
1 Waloon Government (french speakingpart of the country)
1 Government for the German speaking part of the country
1 Government for the district of Brussels

,,,and the Flemish and Waloons are like two toddlers in the playground :jerkit:

Time for some (non-)violent revolution overhere imho,,, :D
