I was a little skeptical at first because I was imagining what happens when you strop too hard, rounding the edge. These don’t do that at all.
They also seem to takeout the possible angle errors that can occur when using the glass lapping film paddles. Or if you’re knife might be barely moving in the jaws…you know, the kind of things that can happen that will make or break a sharpening session if you’re striving for perfection.
If you’re looking to up your hair splitting obsession, I would definitely recommend buying these paddles. I’m honestly surprised how great the end result came out. Needless to say, I’m ordering a second set after I finish typing this.
