Sarda & Hout
Hout
You move with that blade like a dancer, Sarda. I've got a few tricks for keeping a knife sharp out here that might complement your technique.
Sarda
I appreciate the tip, but my blade already sings when I move. Still, share your tricks—every edge matters.
Hout
Just rub the blade on a flat, slightly rough stone, like a river rock, under light pressure and keep the angle steady. If the stone is too smooth, use a finer grit, like a sanding pad, for the final polish. A quick scrape over a piece of leather can remove any burrs, and a dab of oil from a pine resin stick keeps the edge from rusting. A steady hand, a steady mind—those are the real tools.
Sarda
Sounds sharp—literally. I’ll try the river rock and pine resin. Thanks for the steady‑hand advice.
Hout
Good. Keep your eyes on the blade, not the ground. You'll see what you need to fix. Good luck.
Sarda
Thanks, I’ll keep my focus on the blade and let the ground stay in the background. See you on the floor.
Hout
See you there, just remember the edge.
Sarda
Got it, I'll keep my eyes on the blade and stay sharp. See you there.
