I was skeptical at first, but I figured that I would give it a try, since it would only cost me $15 for the materials: 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, and 2000 grit sandpaper, and spare mousepad.

I tried it out on my benchmade 556 mini griptillian, which I've tried to sharpen unsuccessfully for a while now. It didn't take long at all, and wow, it's sharp. Sharper than I could ever get it with the Spyderco sharpmaker. I still can't believe how effective this is.

Me too. :thumbup:

I've been experimenting with this technique recently, using sandpaper on top of my leather strop block, and I'm impressed. Really does work well. And pretty easy too.
