This week I watched a video on “How to Sharpen Your Whittling and Wood Carving Knifes” . I learned how to make a leather strop which is used for keeping whittling knifes sharp. I learned that carvers use the leather strop every 15 – 30 min while carving. I started doing this and notice a difference immediately. It was much easier and faster even though I have to stop every 20 mins or so.

I had not clue about the leather strop, but that makes tons of sense that you would need to consistently resharpen your knife as you go. These pictures are so cool! Are those things you made????
