Wot sort of grind do you have on you'r blade max?

and have you honed it on a leather strop or on a really, really fine stone or wet/dry paper - 8000 grit or example

[hillm]

ahhh that sounds good

just normal wet and dry?
thts great
thanks sapper

[Silverback]

yup, just normal wet dry, used wet of course and of a high grit...thats the advice i got off here and it seems to work. Try stropping it on the back of a real leather belt too

[snowleopard]

rub some toothpaste or jeweler's rouge on the back of the leather for a better finish,

Would that double up as a belt sander for one's dentures. :Sorry: Joel Couldn't resist it.
