Will these bad edges on my strop cause problems?

[57vert]

When I received my strop in the mail it came in a mailing envelope, not box. I noticed the edges had gotten crushed in transit (I'm assuming). Are the edges bad enough to cause problems stropping? At the time I didn't want to be a whining customer. But as I get to know straights better I understand how delicate the edge is. Okay or should I contact the vendor?

If a quality strop.the edges should have been beveled,others will chime in,do not think it is an issue if you use an X stroke..

Personally, I would not want to risk it. If the seller cannot pack it right it's not your fault. I'm also a bit concerned about the pebbling of the leather shown most prominently in the lower right of the photo.

I would give it a quick rub with some smooth glass and see if it went flat. If it doesn't bounce back quite fast then contact the vendor.

Are the edges curled up or down? On an old strop it may or may not matter, if the strop is new, shame on whoever packed lit in an envelope. I have sold a few strops, both vintage and handcrafted and I always sent them in a 6x6x6 box, coiled with the leather on the outside of the coil to keep the leather from scrunching up.

If the edges are slightly turned up, what about tapping them down and flattening them out with gentle hammering?
