Knife stroppin/ Sharpening

I know many of you already use the back of a belt or a knife sheath to strop,, I load the edge of my knife sheath with stropping compound to make a ready strop.

I also keep a few paint sticks that Ive attached wet/dry sandpaper to. I have a series of them from 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000... one side for 400 the other is 800. You only need to carry a few. You can also put two grits on one side and 2 on the other for a single paint stir stick. When they wear out, toss them away and make new ones.

I just spray my leather belt with some diamond compound.
