Thread: Quick, brief questions about stropping

I tend to be a zealous stropper and see nothing wrong with 100 passes on the leather. I don't see the nicks in the big one but cation should be used when stropping on a strop with nicks. If the blade goes tick tick as you go over the nicks they need to be fixed. Some of the very shallow ones are ok to strop over and the smallish ones are easy to fix with a little sand paper, and flaps should be glued down with contact or rubber cement. Start with your most coarse strop and work to your most smooth strop. There are people here that are firm believers in the strop progression. Poor stropping can wreck and edge and good stropping can enhance an edge. Strop until your heart is content.
