The letter is from Epstein's mother.
I'm still sucking at stropping, and was dreaming of an automated strop the other day (while wreckin' my strop and my blade) .. anyway, I was imagining a low-speed belt sander with a leather belt. I gotta believe that's been done at some point along the way, right?
That machine up top looks pretty gnarly.. like if it weren't aligned properly, things would get broken.
Ok so I made that up, but seriously, that thing is worth nowhere near the asking price. I'd pay $75 tops for that obscure ***, and even then, that's pretty generous."Um, no. As novel as this is, it's still just a glorified blade sharpener. Unless it was owned by Jack the Ripper, there's almost no market for something like this. I'll give you $75."
