anybody else ever read forsyth's the dogs of war? i did years ago and immediately got me a strop that i cut down into a arm band size with snaps(a character in the book had it,sounded fun,it is) so now i sit with my strop leather around my fist,stropping my knives when i'm watching tv or i flip a bali-song or work a folder.flip a little,strop a little,thumb the edge,strop a little more,flip some more,pluck a hair off someone(ouch! excuse me,gotta test this edge)make a fuzzy stick from the hair(maliciously grinning as their eyes get big), strop a little more,open/closed/open/closed. wonder if this is why people move away from me at the movies?
