I'm considering whether Feather SE blades as used in the Feather Straights and Cobra etc., would benefit from a few laps on a high grit hone followed by a leather strop, just to take the harshness off the edge. What I need is a holder about 15cm long that will hold a blade firmly enough in place during honing/stropping.
The dimension of the holder should provide an angle of about 18 to 20 degrees when the blade bevel and holder are flat on the hone i.e. the holder acts as a spine.
Any thoughts from you engineers?
