Bolpol - Blue Honing Paste - Smurf Poo - Soft Abrasive Paste for Knife Sharpening/stropping Knives - 120g Pot

Product Information

I love the idea of bringing a sawn-in-half waterstone, but with the water requirement plus the weight I think I’ll stick with little ceramic stones that need no lubrication. I am a new reader to this blog and am already a huge fan of your unbiased and utilitarian look at gear and skills. has been creating murals of cats since the mid-nineties using a combination of fur, urine, and you guessed it, poop, for her portraits of her many felines (she owned more than 100).

Stropping Compound | The Stalking Directory

I use the DC4 as well and find it’s a good stone once you’ve used it a few times to smooth the aggressive cut of the diamond side out. Plenty people will say that if your knife is sharp enough to slice paper easily and shave the hair off your arm, it's sharp enough - and they have a good point. In the case of diamond pocket stones in particular, the edge most of them create is not particularly fine. From my side I mostly love convex edge knives (I have F1 falkniven knife) thanks the easy to sharpening these type of edge in the bush with sandpaper up 2000 graded and bark river black green and sometimes White compounds. Again I apologize if I offended you in any way I was just funnin a bit with the Starkie blue AKA smurf poo, it is a very fine abrasive indeed.When I sharpen a knife with a secondary bevel I will adjust the overall angle of the micro-convex I put on the edge to suit the sort of work I think that blade will be used for. but other than for the hell of it it's a pretty pointless exercise to go finer than you can achieve with good old Smurf Poo. Carrots contains the antioxidant beta carotene - which is what gives them that bright orange colour.

Ploopy Trackball modifications

both are done on wet and dry and stroped on leather bonded on MDF with flexi cut supper gold stropping compound.With the addition of a strop I find you can produce a shaving edge very quickly with very little fuss. Trackballs with low rolling friction will be easier to “flick” from one side of the screen to the other in a fast movement. I really appreciated your comment as I have been unhappy with the quality of my (relatively new) DC4 too.

Bolpol Smurf Poo Honing Paste 120g Tin - Twisted Assisted

Our favourite polishing compound - fresh Smurf Poo is made of high quality abrasive powders in a soft paste form. creating a 3- or 4-stage sharpening process with the DC4 diamond surface being most aggressive and the ceramic surface being the finest, least aggressive surface; the two grades of my original Gränsfors axe stone sit nicely in between. The system I use now I am not 100% satisfied with either, however I feel it is the lesser of the evils. in the field i just take the supper gold compound and rub on a ash branch to use as strop or western red ceder bark witch is quite abrasive by its self.Even a full-sized combination stone, which would provide a couple of different grades at least, is going to be too heavy for most self-propelled trips. It comprises of two miniature size combination Japanese water stones, one stone has a coarse side and a medium side and the other stone a medium and a fine side, these are housed in a watertight plastic case along with some non slip matting. With my hunting knives I am not that fussy and mostly finish with a sintered silicone carbide rod which get's the knives to the hair shaving level. The half waterstone can be a useful group sharpening option for snowshoe/hot-tent trips as well as canoe trips, in addition to having a small stone on your person. Ideally this would be OpenSCAD, but the render time was far too long after importing the Ploopy STL file.
