I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on that Rajah II Vic. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Nice edge, and yes I have had the blood flow before too!

I did a review of it on W&SS forum last week.


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I have used the Hand American products for years, and they are top notch! When I want to take an edge to the stupid sharp relm I go from the greem compound to their white diamond paste.

I just ordered the liquid and powder chromium oxide
that you used,from Hand American.
Now i need some kinda leather to put it on.
Do you really use the smooth side of the leather?
I always put the jewelers rouge on the rough,split side.

Some people use the smooth side, and some people use the rough side. I have always used the smooth side, but what I was taught to do as a youngster was to take the piece of leather that I would be using as a strop and give the smooth side a light scrubbing with saddle soap and medium bristle brush, then wipe it all off and let it dry real good. After that warm it up a little with a blow dryer and then apply your stropping compound.

You do not have to do all of those things, but that is how I have done it all of my life and it works very well.

I have read people putting compound on the smooth side and others on the rough side, so I just followed the directions on the site. It seemed to work well enough <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I put green compound on my leather belt for the belt sander rough side out.

If I can chase down a strop or make one I'm not sure what I would do, Tolly's method sounds like a good one.
