90% of the sharpening you'll do with this in the field will be with the strop and carbide bar. Its hard to describe without trying it, but with a little practice it's fairly easy to keep from cutting the webbing. It's fairly tough and can withstand some abuse as well.
The belt is designed to give you the option to sharpen. But how and when you want to use it is up to you. We've field tested this thing a lot and it works really well. IMO the best use is after butchering or between animals with a clean blade.
Possible, yes, but not looking likely. We are doing everything we can to get them made as soon as possible!
And that's how I ended up ordering a new belt and new Serac today.
At some point we might. I don't have a timeline on that right now.
Yup, you nailed it. I would do a Large and trim with scissors and melt the trimmed end with a lighter.
Glad you got yours! We've been hustling to get 'em all out.
