I mean leather and kangaroo are soft , so if I don’t move the angle in I may roll the edge. Lapping film is hard so no adjustments required unless I want a micro bevel.

I just ordered the 1500/6 stones. I’m thinking I’m going to go with lapping films. I like that I don’t have to worry about flexing on the edge.

I was mostly asking because I’m trying to build up my wicked edge arsenal so I can do any kind of edge I (or a friend) may want. If I want a toothy but sharp edge on a buck knife or be able to floss my teeth in a bench made, I just want to be able to choose and have the right tools for the job. At the price of stones and strops I have to be c…[Read more]
