    Back in the day when you went to a barber and they stropped the straight you would hear a loud slapping sound as the barber flipped the blade over. It was part of the "show".

    As long as the edge is not contacting the strop as you do the flip no damage will occur. It's only if you are contacting the edge during the slap will you damage the edge.
