I have used this and card board to touch up blades for years....I first heard about cardboard stropping in a mid90s Blade interview with the head of Blackjack. It isnt good for a dull blade but for a finish or quick touchup it can work.One company I used to work for had box knives that took odd blades that were never in stock. People were always wanting to bum blades so I would trade for the dull ones and strop them back sharp.
These guys use a brick and belt as a strop. I have no personal experience with it. ...Ps. They are a bit silly
I just wanted to make a comment about how this thread appears in the main forum list. It is truncated to "Least expensive meth..."Uhm.... Yeah. Been afraid to even LOOK in this forum.
