I think i'm goin' crazy.... :shock: :shock: :shock:
Kinda makes me feel like riverdancin'.

Have a look at this happy happy customer.

Ooh, and this one.

Evidently someone in favour also!

Sorry, just thought three would be enough to start my campaign. ):

 

[JakeR]

Oh, and i don't want traitors

 

[jakunen]

Voted for 'any bit' but i'm gonna get meself one when I get back from hols.

The starkie is a nice, small, neat piece of kit.

Yes, another convert....

why:Womble, you have a lot to answer for my old friend...:rolmao: )

 

[tomtom]

Jake are Axminster paying you commission?

 

[boaty]

I tried one at the BCUK meetup - what it lacked for in length, it made up for in width (but longer and thinner is better for my big, re-curved kukri!)

Seemed OK, but I can live without it

I just use an old leather belt, but I'd be just as happy with any other suitable material of similar length - doesn't have to be leather, just something fine-textured and durable...

 

[JakeR]

Doesn't fit perfectly on a kuk i can imagine! Mainly for smaller knives.

Jakunen, ask one of the mods to change your vote!

 

[jakunen]

My vote still stands as you don't NEED anything flash, but the Starkie will just make things a little easier.

I'm not getting it for my knives, but for my jewellery workshop...

 

[Lurch]

No option for a proper full length strop then?
Starkie is just a leather mousemat that's been boil washed!

 

[maddave]

I love my Starkie!!! 2nd option is me old leather belt :super:

well just to be different I dont rate sharkie sharp at all! Why over priced for what it is and too small for a good strop.

Personally I'll stick to my belt!

That's the spirit. :biggthump Starkie :thumbs_do

 

[tomtom]

for the starkie option.. are we talking the starki leather and the honeing paste combo.. or just the leather bit?

 

[jakunen]

WaddidIdo? :rolmao: :rolmao: :rolmao:

You know full well what you did mate!

You told me about this fantastic site called BCUK or something. People keep getting me involved in things and tempting me with kit...

 

[steve a]

Its the belt for me but I do use the starkie paste on it just to speed things up a bit.

 

[JakeR]

A fiver? Over-priced? :?:

its a perfectly un-flash little gizmo, thats what makes it so great. And it gets you brilliant results.
I can't really see how you can't like it

When i say starkie i mean the honing soap as well.

 

[Stew]

I'm not bothered about the leather but do rate the paste - that's where the magic is!

 

[JakeR]

Exactly! (but the leather is a perfect size if you have the right technique)
