Just dropped my new Mora 120 knife after having it for all of 5 seconds

Posted: 08 Jul 2020 03:18 PM PDT

Not the end of the world (and I already corrected the tip) but, my new Mora 120 knife came today. I took it out of the package, unsheathed the knife ... and promptly dropped it. It bounced off my tabletop, it bounced off my floor mat and rattled around on the concrete floor. I paused for a few moments before making that painful kneel to pickup the knife. Sure enough I broke off the tip of the blade. Luckily it wasn't a huge break and I was able to hone it back to a point. But still.

Lesson of the day, next time just let the knife poke into your foot to save your tool. Wait, that isn't right.

Question about Stropping

Posted: 08 Jul 2020 03:36 PM PDT

So, I've had my strop set up for a while, but every time I go to use it it never seems to actually help the blade cut any easier and when I strop a lot of the compound comes off and sticks to the blade. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

Sanding aspen wood. “Woolly”

Posted: 08 Jul 2020 04:10 PM PDT

I carved a spoon a couple weeks ago. I tried to go over it with a knife to finish it, but ended up sanding it with 150 grit sandpaper. Now it feels fuzzy or what they call " wooly". How do I fix this? In Afraid to carve it out because it's pretty thin in places and it's got some tough areas to finish with a knife.
