no

you should definitely do that though

and lube the rod

Oh I'll lube the rod

and you need a stopper somewhere

on the rod

Isn't one attached?

Nbd, I'll use hotglue or a zip tie

literally put a ziptie or something there

Chink minds think alike

i guess other than that its OK

could be better, could be worse

But if you aren't satisfied with it, have you got anything better?

I don't want to feed the lansky jew

a basic stone + strop

I tried and tried

something like 400/1000 and a leather strop with green buffing compound goes a long way

alright then ur shit

My inferior hands just can't do it

Yes, I am

tried stones with angle guides ?

And you mean the horrible hard as fuck green buffing compound?

uh no?

That just melts to wax if you strop vigorously?

double no

actually maybe

if it becomes waxy and smooth that typically means you put too much compound

and you'd have to either sand it off or scrape it off

@Tervy I tried putting my knife in a vice and moving the stone, as opposed to the opposite

Fugg

ouch

Don't you ouch me, it worked much better

It's just like a constant angle kit, without the kit and angle and constants

This way I could actually sharpen a dull knife
