Bolpol - Blue Honing Paste - Smurf Poo - Soft Abrasive Paste for Knife Sharpening/stropping Knives - 120g Pot

Product Information

As we’ve seen above with the DC4, an effective travel stone for belt knives is half the length of a full-sized bench stone. We’ve also seen from the Gränsfors axe stone that a smaller stone which can be held in the hand and applied to an axe is a very effective solution. With my hunting knives I am not that fussy and mostly finish with a sintered silicone carbide rod which get's the knives to the hair shaving level. Hi Paul. If you have the Spyderco Sharpmaker rods (I have them too, they’re great!) then you should like the Double Stuff just as much! It’s the exact same ceramic/grit. It’s longer than the Fällkniven DC4, yet narrower. at home I´m using the spyderco sharpmaker to keeping the edge of my knives in good shape. If the knife is dull, I´m using the Lansky set. After this I´m using a polish-mashine. This shows that reducing the coefficient of friction and the weight both help the roller bearings feel better,

With the right ball material static bearings feel very good, but neither of the two I had felt right. The static bearings combined with the LCOT ball have excellent smoothness, It has a little cover over the BTU, but the main difference is that it's easier for people (or me!) to adjust.Hi Paul. If you like the Spyderco Sharpmaker rods (I have them too, they’re great!) then you should like the Double Stuff just as much! It’s the exact same ceramic/grit. It’s longer than the Fällkniven DC4, yet narrower. There are seven types of poop, according to the Bristol Stool Chart, and the type you expel depends on how long it spent in your bowel.

The only external difference you can see is a little lump above the Ploopy logo, and the edge of a BTU. I use a DC3 as my standard stone and follow it up with a strop on an old leather belt I found for 50p in a charity shop 🙂I've stropped blades to mental sharpness in the past ... just because I could ... but other than for the hell of it it's a pretty pointless exercise to go finer than you can achieve with good old Smurf Poo. There's a reason we don't use scalpels for gralloching and other 'real world' jobs .. they simply wouldn't hold their edge long enough under those conditions of usage to be of any real benefit.

If you prefer absolute smoothness, the best option I've found for the Ploopy is to use ceramic bearings. Neither ocf these will replace the waterstone at home but when you are out and about hopefully its more about the maintenance of the edge and not the creation of the edge.On tour I´m using a LAP Stone. It´s a thin stainless steel stripe, one side with a course and the other side with a fine diamond coating. Works well on knives and axes and it´s very lightweight. It’s good to hear from you. The tip about turning the case inside out is a good one, particularly if you don’t habitually wear a leather belt. The GB stone does become a little less aggressive over time but you are right – it has its place. You are only as sharp as your tools… For those in the know:,does the type of stropping compound that you load up the strop with make much / any difference? I use autosol on one strop that I made myself and smurf poo on the other (bought) one, but I see folks using powders that are made into a paste and even a spray. Worthwhile or a waste of money? Carrots contains the antioxidant beta carotene - which is what gives them that bright orange colour.
