Review on Woodworking Sharpening Polishing Stropping by BeaverCraft: Effective Tool for Optimum Results by Michael Barry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great lanyard, I was missing that

I applied the composition to one side and left the other exposed. This belt is just what I needed for my knives to take the final step of being ready cut and incredibly sharp. The knife just isn't what it could be until it's slashed after sharpening, and then sharpening becomes infrequent as it only needs to be propped up with a belt. MUCH more efficient than I thought it could be. It's addicting, I keep it available and seem to use it all the time. Stop sharpening your blades to zero, just put a good edge on them and then get on with it. I usually clip it to the end of the handle and go to work. I used a heat gun to warm up the skin a bit before applying the mixture and it went on evenly. I love it so much I ordered a bowl cutter from them to see how they handle knives. So far, so good. I can order another belt if I know they have curly ones for bowl cutting knives. If I could make suggestions for a future product, maybe curved sides and their coating for curved blades too. Also available with single sided suede side up. At the end of the handle bend it into a square bar so that when I clamp it onto the handle the clamp doesn't lift the end of the line (see picture). Only suggestions, I am very satisfied with this product.

Pros
  • Whetstones
Cons
  • Requires socket
