Sounds super Greg. Where does one get those leather strops? I suppose you run the knife on it with the edge trailing? I have a number of sharpening stones but know them only as course, medium, fine, and extra fine. I have never seen any designated by grit. How do you know what grit a stone is?

: For edge tools you need a good sharpening system, be it waterstones or
: oilstones and know how to use them. I use 220, 800, 1200 grit waterstones
: and a fine 6000 grit polishing stone.... Once a tool is sharpened, I maintain it with a cheap
: leather strop.
