Pocket Portable Sharpening System

[Christian Castillo]

Who says you need full sized stones lol? Now I can sharpen my plane blades on the train :D:
Medium India 4x1.5" slipstone, 3x1" Translucent Arkansas stone, a small piece of a brown paper bag with flitz compound, placed on my palm and used to strop, and yes, the blade will shave hair :). Even with the small stones, I still got the edge sharp in 2-3 minutes, no Hollow grind.

Lol, I just pictured how people would take seeing a guy stropping a blade in his seat and proceeding the shave his arm hair off, smiling, then stropping some more... Yeah I don't think I'd make it past 2 stops.
