OK Gravel Face here goes;I used a Smith's 4" combination diamond hone;working it like a file;and after I got the edge rolling back and forth with it,I went to the strop.I started with Flexcut honing compound and then to Yellowstone compound and then to the green chromium oxide;0.5 micron; and then a plain leather strop for final polish.It was alot of work but it was sure as hell worth every minute of it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />Oh I forgot a cold beer with this doesn't hurt either <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />P.S.I free hand all my reprofiling that away I can see and feel what I'm doing.That's the way my dad taught me,it's a little more work than using a machine but you know that it's right when you get done or you can cuss yourself if it's not <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
