Ready for hours of fun? Let's make a Case knife!
Note the deburring process shortly after 5:30 into the video. Looks like some sort of cloth wheel.

IMHO there must be a faster, more efficient and effective method of burr removal than rubbing a blade on a leather strop, which I have found to be neither efficient or particularly effective. I've checked blades under a microscope after stropping on leather to remove burr, and there is always some remaining burr. Honestly and oddly, stropping on my jeans on my thigh actually works better.
