Thread: Knife stropping

Evening everyone, have been doing a fair bit of sharpening on Japanese whetstones, but didn't get into stropping my knives as didn't have the gear. After finding this thread, I thought I'd give it a go. Ripped the lining out of a welding gauntlet and used the internal leather and that gave me a decent piece, albeit a little thin but did the trick. Stapled it onto a bit of matai floor board and good to go. I couldn't believe the difference after chucking a little autsol on it and giving my Svord Santoku a quick few strokes. Next level sharp and like a bloody mirror. Cheers chaps
