Hi all - Coming from a background of knife sharpening, I'm having a bit of disbelief when I read "use zero pressure when stropping; just the weight of the blade itself". Is this just a mantra so to cause the beginner to not "over" press or is it really literal? Are people stropping without any added pressure besides that of gravity? (Please forgive if this seems picky; I'm an engineer by training and zero means something very specific to me. If it's really "barely any pressure" then I'd be much more sanguine about the direction).
Toonfully yours
