Well!!!! Why didn't you say so?
Actually it depends on your preferences. Either way works although laying it flat on a table or having it mounted on a board gives the strop less reliencey which leads to a smaller convex.
I dont mind my AK being rough, i got it to strap to my saddle in place of a camp ax.
There you go!!!! Use the proper tool for the job!!!!
My Kobra id rather have a razor clean edge on it, as i got it for my martial arts practice instead of a tool.
Okay, I got the picture now. You're gonna impress your opponent with the shiny sharp blade?
It doesn't really matter which way you use the strop as either way is effective, it's just your preference. Some people feel having the strop portable as in a leather belt gives one more opportunities to strop their knives rather than having to carry a solid mounted strop in the field.
It can also be advantages to have the strop where it can be mounted to anything solid such as a fence post or even a shrub in the field.
A small amount of compound can be carried along without any problems other than having to clean your belt loops in your pants of the compound after use.
im getting the hang of it.
Sounds as if you'll do fine and that perhaps you've already left Brendan behind in the sharpening field.
But better yet is to follow the old admonishment, "Flies breed disease and babies so keep yours buttoned."
Brendan's learning to, just hope it's quick enough.
Hunh Brendan?
Brendan is the bane of fathers all over the world. There's No Way he would've done that to my little girl!!!!
Hunh Brendan?
