Did they feel real or fake?

Fake for sure. I felt up the steel ones and just had to take them home with me.

 

[Old Monkey]

You just can't beat steel for firmness.

 

[brendonv]

To prevent another thread, how do I sharpen these things?

 

[lumberjack]

Bring them down with you and I'll show ya.

 

[MasterBlaster]

You need the right wrench.

 

[Old Monkey]

Put them in a vise and use a mill bastard flat file and make them the same shape as they were before.

 

[brendonv]

I just think I remember reading somewhere you only sharpen one side of the gaff, just not sure which.

 

[sotc]

bottom

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, all three sides, but NOT the spine. Jerry B schooled me on that.

 

[lumberjack]

Bottom/Inside, the curved face.

 

[brendonv]

Hahaha, damn lotta answers.

 

[MasterBlaster]

No, all three sides, but NOT the spine. Jerry B schooled me on that.

Again I say.

Hahaha, damn lotta answers.

Mine is the correct one.

 

[lumberjack]

No, all three sides, but NOT the spine. Jerry B schooled me on that.

Buckingham says only the inside/curved face. It's plausible that other designs are sharpened differently.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Buckingham can bite my buttocks.

 

[brendonv]

Hahahahaha,

Im over tired and going to bed.

LATER!

 

[rbtree]

You need the right wench.

[brendonv]

Well, they are steel inserts, just checked. I sharpened my spurs too, per buck's instructions online. We'll see how they work if I need 'em wednesday.

take a wrap with the lower strap on the leg iron, about ankle high.

take a wrap with the lower strap on the leg iron, about ankle high.

Why?

 

[sotc]

thats if your using an upper leg strap for the lower, keeps it from sliding back and forth

 

[Bounce]

Ah, I get it - so you have something to pull against to get it tight.

 

[sotc]

well if you have a proper lower strap with the ring that holds the strap and spur as one, if you just run a strap through the slot (for the ring) then the strap can slide back and forth through the slot. by taking a wrap around the shank it keeps the strap from moving independant of the spur. this also minimizes the movement of your foot in the spur. hope that made sence. try buckiling in normal and wiggle your foot then try it with an upper strap through the lower slot youll see

 

[MasterBlaster]

I started out not doing that, then I took a wrap for a few years, and now I'm back to not doing it.
