After use or sharpening the blade will have a slight burr this burr is what catches when you attempt to cut. If the blades edge is aligned the blade passes through with little effort. By stropping the knife on the BoLo the very fine edge of the blade will begin align, while the compound polished the edge. First start on the Black compound and finish on the Green compound side.How do I use a BoLo?Step 1: Apply the compound by rubbing it on. The simplest way to describe this process is like coloring with a crayon, back and forth with light pressure.Step 2: The entire leather surface should be covered with compound.Step 3: Place the blade on the Leather towards the handle. The cutting edge should be towards the handle. Adjust the angle of the blade by raising the spine (The back of the blade where it isn't sharp) slightly creating a wedge with an angle of around 15 - 30 degrees.Step 4: With light pressure push the blade up towards the top of the BoLo. Step 5: When you reach the top flip the blade over so the cutting edge is pointed towards the top of the BoLo and just as before adjust the angle by raising the spine and this time pull towards the handle of the BoLo.Step 6: With light pressure push the blade down towards the handle of the BoLo.
