D. Martell Felt Group Buy??

[Mucho Bocho]

Labor, OH it sure does. A stray drop can will create bump on the felt. Ask me how I know. Ya can work around it, I supposed it coupe be vice squeezed back to shape, maybe?

 

[Doug]

Have you guys tried them out yet?

Just got mine. Thanks Dave and Chinacats for getting the ball rolling on this! This felt is definitely harder then the other felt I have. Tried it on some white steel and some stainless blades I sharpened and it works great. I'm going to mount a pad on some bass wood that I have. Should be a great portable stropping solution. +1 on the water caused bumps warning. Got to keep the felt away from the sink and wet fingers when sharpening.

 

[Dave Martell]

I don’t know if this has already been mentioned but it is really important to dry your knife before using the pad right? Doesn’t felt form bubbles on the surface if exposed to water?

Yes sir, that's a fact!

 

[GoodMagic]

Got mine too, thank you Dave, and LOL for the heads up on keeping it dry.

 

[GorillaGrunt]

Thanks Dave, this is great! Glad it came together. Do you recommend loading the pad for stropping or using it unloaded?

I use them loaded with diamond spray.

Man I was just waiting to hear from you but this is better than I expected!

 

[panda]

[chinacats]

Didn't want to comment until I could make it to the Post Office which finally happened today--WooHoo! Thanks for making this happen Dave. Same high grade stuff as before, really appreciate the effort.

 

[Dave Martell]

Glad to help Jim. Thanks to you for bringing this up.

Wish I hadn’t missed this. I have a pretty heavy stone session coming up next week, these would have helped for sure. I’m in for the next go around!

I got you covered.

 

[Dave Martell]

It's not much but I've got an extra pad and 2 extra blocks if anyone wants them.

SOLD

That's a wrap!

 

[Dave Martell]

PS - in the future please feel free to bring this up again as I'd do another group buy if there's enough interest.

Also, maybe there's interest for diamond sprays?

 

[panda]

count me in for next batch of blocks cause ill need another once i wear mine out

 

[ThinMan]

I still need a felt pad. Diamond spray sounds good too.

 

[chinacats]

I've not been using diamond sprays in some time but really enjoyed the fact that yours are color coded and colorful...plain diamond spray always looks dirty. I would heartily recommend yours if someone is in the market.

 

[KCMande]

Blocks
Pads
Sprays here.
I'm close to out of my supply

 

[Grunt173]

Please count me in for a pad,Dave.

 

[Dave Martell]

Just to be clear....

I don't have diamond sprays to sell at this time. The above picture is many years old, taken back when I stocked this stuff in my (since closed) online store. I only posted the picture to see if there was any interest in doing a one off group buy thing like we just did with the felt.

Also, I don't have pricing available at this time. I haven't bought this stuff in years so who knows what they charge today.


Thanks to everyone for their interest!
Dave

I'd like in on the felt next time. Too bad, I missed this round.
