Review on Highly Efficient Narrow Aluminum Mounting Recurve Blades: The Perfect Choice for Precise Cutting by Phil Casey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Balsa slings with the best value for money on the internet. Period.

I really like Gritomatic products. Every time I shop from them I get a huge smile on my face using them. This balsa ribbon is no different. I sharpen my knives quite often and always end up sharpening a stone with a good finish. This is a different kind of striptease that my dad used to give me! :-) I have used leather cords for this purpose in the past and still do, but when using my first paste. Where I often live and there is no need to go beyond 3 microns. This makes it the most commonly used sling. I find wood (balsa in this case) to be a much better and more durable material. In addition, it is easier to clean and update. Thanks Gritomatic.

Pros
  • Narrow balsa lanyard, suitable for curved blades
Cons
  • String is shorter than other picks
