    Default Difficult blades to strop

    I recently acquired a Joseph Rodgers near wedge that the spine was a little taller than the spot that touch the stone. Norfolk street was stamped in the side of the spine. When you lay the blade on the stone it would kind of rock if you didn't watch it close. after finely getting it honed to what I thought was right I went to strop. I notice it was not getting as sharp and it should. Normal speed stropping. I slowed down a little and watched closely. when I drew the blade to me it was fine but when I pushed the blade away from me the edge would roll off the leather. so I was stropping only one side. I slowed down more and corrected this. I was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem with similar blade shapes.

    If this is a duplicate post I apologize this is the 3rd time to try to post this . the computer has been giving me a fit
