Check this out - seems pretty cool. I just ordered one for myself. What are you thoughts?

those look like some quality clubs there...

the main issue with multi-sided strops is that you need to make sure you are always working on a clean surface. otherwise, they seem like a good way to keep everything in one place.

those look well done, nicely and evenly loaded to boot :thumbup:

Siguy,

How often do you need to reload the compound? And where is a good place to get more?

Thanks,

TF

I was looking at the JRE "bat" recently, and also ended up buying the one offered by knivesshipfree, for about half the price.

Then I found a place that sells compound at very reasonable prices...

But the JRE piece looks real nice, no doubt.

i bought the BRKT compound from knivesshipfree.com. before that, i mainly used gray tripoli compound to remove a burr with. the BRKT compound cuts faster, and i like it alot.

you can reload whenever the compound starts getting slick with removed metal. for me, this is usually after about 5 blades. the surface area of the strop impacts this though, so your strop might be different...
