Saw this kind of cool Old Sharpening Device last weekend...JUST an FYI

[Akapennypincher]

Thought I would share this information as it does work on knives, and sharpening is a frequent subject of discussion.

Any way was a a Gun Show over the weekend, and ran into what I though was a reasonably price sharpening device.

It kind of remindeds me of when I was a kid of my neighbor who was a barber. Spent many hours at his barber shop handing out, was always fascinated by this big strap he use to get his single edged razor, very sharp.

Any way it is what I will call old school technology, still being made in U.S.A. for sharpening razors, knives, etc.

The linked web-site has some good information, and a u-tube.

No I did not purchase one, but intent to order one when ye old pension check arrives.

And old school strop.

I remember the barber using something similar when my dad would take me. In those days, dad would get a shave too.

Yep. Just a much shorter barber's strop. It looks very odd at such a short length, but otherwise no different.
