Thanks for jumping in, your correct on all counts and good job pointing out the lighter stroke work.

Your knife would have to start out in pretty fair condition to respond to removing the wired edge by stropping because with a well worn knife, you would be hard pressed to get a wired edge with a sharpening steel.

I'm confident we don't have to ask about the condition of knives in Ambush Masters house, he already "told" me in his post.

Anyone know the reason newsprint works as a strop?

Now I've got to go get some knives ready for today.
