This has probably been covered on this board before, but I couldn't locate anything referencing it. When you hone, you go edge first from heel to point, creating fins that go in this / direction (say for a right to left stroke). Now when you strop, you're going spine-first from heel to point again. Wouldn't this create another fin going \ (for a left to right strop), especially if you're using sharpening compounds? Wouldn't it make more sense to strop from point to heel if this were the case?
