There have been a few threads surface and resurface here of late with hunting season approaching. Having tried and tried for shaving sharp edges I finally went and bought a 10" mill file. I made a strop with some scrap leather and a 2x2 block of oak that's about 8" long. I used Brasso to impregnate the leather with its polishing grit.
I had to break out the clippers with a #2 comb attachment to make my arms presentable in public. There were so many shaved spots, I had to.
Thanks for those that have asked and to those who have replied, and posted links to other threads, for sharpening tips. The tips worked. I am now consistent and have all my Eclipse heads shaving sharp.
I have the bare arms to prove it. :eek:
I just got back from one of my hunting spots. Tracks are fresh all over.
I hope this hunting year continues to fall into place.
cheers!
