Any ideas as to why? Am I just too "tense". I am not bearing down on the blade when I strop.

Thank you

Ok I had to admit when I first saw the thread, my first thought was WAAaaaaaaaa !!!!

But honestly, just relax a bit, stropping and even honing should be come almost Zen like, a nice smooth rhythm, part of the issue is that we stress holding a strop tight, in all actuality the word best used is "Taut" if yer cranking back on it trying to pull the hook outta the wall it tenses your whole body.
