    Default What do you consider a pass on the strop?

    Down and back= 1
    Or, down=1 and back =1?

    I've always wondered this.

    Like Rod said, up and back = one round trip matter of semantics but I figure starting at the handle of the strop and working toward the hardware is "up". Some guys call it a lap, I call it a round trip whether it is on a strop or on a hone.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Exactly, both back and forward makes one pass.
