Steelhead. Hey this isn't rocket science here. He asked for a substitute. At home I have two leather 8" wheels on a grinder for fine finishes and an old barbers strop. My knives going into the feld are razor sharp. However, I have used all the items mentioned here except the window edge. I'll have to try that.There isn't any oils out ther that can hurt a knife. If you screw it up, you just start over. Not a flame here, just a comment.
