If you're just going to strop blades, buy that strop, old barber's strops are made for straight razors.

You can find alot of good material at Wood Craft. Other wood working stores also, wood workers are edge freaks not unlike ourselves. I bought some compressed stroping leather, and as soon as I can pry my hands from the keyboard from being on this cursed forum, I may actually make the dig burn strop!

CJ,Yes Woodcraft is good and offer many supplies.But this week I ordered a stone from them. Described as a black hard Arkansas but when I received it, it was a grey med.hard Arkansas at best and not well cut.So,I'm returning it.They have a good return policy.
Now,I'm sticking w/ Norton Stones (www.nortonstones.com)they are of superior quality
and I've not been disappointed w/them.DM

I am lucky enough to have a store close enough to me that I can stop in and shop. I am not a shopper, until you get me in a store with tools.....I really do not mean Harbor Freight, ok, I will shop in there when funds are down.

CJ, Do they carry Norton stones? DM

 

[cj65]

I recall DMT, and some Japanese. I cannot say for sure on the Norton, but I believe so. They have a decent array of products.

Just checked on Woodcraft.com They also have Spyderco, and yes Norton. Quite a good selection on line. I am sure the knife stores have them as well. It is good to shop around. The staff at Ventura CA Woodcraft are very helpful, so I enjoy touching and feeling the product. I will be near the southbay on Monday, and I know there is a Rockler wood working store, will have to peek in there as well.
