Well glass half full and all. I noticed the other week that someone had given my car some character the other week when I went to open the bonnet and discovered that the bull bar had been bent back into the front wing, thus preventing the bonnet from opening. Oh well.
I got my share of strop micro nicks where I flip the blade near my left hand. Most nicks are on the the shank side of the strop but some are on the toe side. A few had small flaps which I glued down after applying glue using a tooth pick. When dry, I sanded down anything sticking up above the surface using fine sandpaper. I then cleaned the surface with a slightly damp rag. I rub the surface with my palm before use. The nicks are now shallow gullies with rounded edges at the surface. The strop seems to work well and seems tobe improving with age and use. Nothing sticks up to catch or bend an edge.
HTH
Well I hope you've trained yourself to keep the toe down on the strop as well now.
