Thread: Knife sharpening: Honing compound?

yes stropping is brilliant. It's so quick and easy and stretches out the time between stone sharpening significantly. And as ebf says, it really puts the final sharp on a sharp knife. I have a piece of leather I got off Hamish @HGD and it works well. I don't even have it glued to anything, I just lay it out flat on my marble kitchen bench top. Seems to do the job but I keep thinking I should probably glue it to a piece of wood only I've loaded up both sides with compound now.
