[@jesseruben8505]

You are awesome...keep up the good work

[@ericasedc]

I appreciate that thank you!

Hi Erica. That is a fantastic strop. mine are all so small. I need to get a bigger one like that. You asked what your viewers have been up to. Well, we were driving back home to Maine from New Hampshire today. Visited family there over the weekend. It was such great weather this weekend. we were hoping to get some snowshoeing in, but all we could find was dirt and ice!

[@ericasedc]

Oh man!!!! I hope you still had fun though!

[@franka9760]

I've got a paddle strop from Sharpening Supplies. Kind of like yours but mine is not quite as long. I have the green compound on the suede side and just the smooth leather with no compound on the other side. Works great for me. I don't go for the high polish like you do, I'm happy with paper-curling sharp!

[@ericasedc]

Thanks for chiming in my friend! ❤

Hispanics put the Tajin on watermelon. I tried it and it adds some zing. Going fishing and I hope I get to use my filet knife LOL.

[@ericasedc]

@@John..18 probably great!

Still working on my chair project , and i was caring for the kids of a friend , i also watched nicole coenen on you tube very cool how she is chopping wood with a axe

[@ericasedc]

Nice!!!

[@chrissabo923]

I always alternate sides when I’m stropping. Maybe I should try multiple strokes on one side before switching Rex 45 native chief in the pocket this week I also use diamond paste or emulsion seems to help things go a little quicker

[@ericasedc]

I have some strops loaded with that as well!

What happened to the eviction on a previous video you said you had to get out just wondering what happened?

[@ericasedc]

Watch my channel and videos to find out! Already stated what is happening. Thanks!

[@marcelpfeiffer6587]

Hi Erica, the black hair suits you very well, it goes very well with your glasses and your look. But they don't really change what defines you, namely the use of gear and its honest evaluation.

[@ericasedc]

Thank you Marcel! I appreciate you!

[@terrillschneider3778]

That’s how I do it ten nine eight etc If you watch a barber strop a razor they strop from side to side when they are finishing up I have a cheap Marbles strop that is hard leather on on side and rough leather suede on the other I have to put the compound on it and use Flexcut Gold

[@ericasedc]

Awesome!

[@terrillschneider3778]

@@ericasedc I’m not stropping high end knives like you are

[@dualsportoutdoors]

Cool strop. Not doing much over here today. Caught the rona so I'm trying to kick it

[@ericasedc]

NOOOO!!!! Sending healing vibes!!!!!

[@DavidV4444]

I don’t know what it is but if I even put a strop in the same room as one of my knives it gets dull. As far as freehand sharpening, I am a complete loser / can’t sharpen a thing - when I use my Lansky or my KME, I get my large Inkosi scary sharp - just haven’t figured out how to do anything freehand lol

[@ericasedc]

Keep practicing❤

[@knickly]

I really like to work my way down in number of passes per side, like 4 on each side, then 3 on each side, etc... Maybe that's what you were describing when you mentioned dwindling? IDK, I feel like sometimes you need multiple passes before you switch sides.

[@ericasedc]

Yes!

[@gregvanderlip7726]

Oh and was missed court from 9yrs ago for something could prove didn't do but said did jus be done with it and got max sentence on missing court 93 days and for what didn't do so woulda been jail same amount time either way an did 37 days waiting go other countie for the 93 days and got caught up cuz gang unit where I live racially profiled me for being white in black neighborhood I kniw how that sounds but I being honest I didn't do anything wrong other than they said at stop sign I went a little past white line so lame of a reason

[@Knife_guy]
