    Default From an earlier post

    A pasted strop continues the hone. It carries on an abrasive process that polishes the edge of the blade to its highest level of refinement.
    The smaller the size of the abrasive, the keener the blade.

    Stropping has a peculiar effect on metal. Instead of compacting, and scrapping away metal, it washes and finishes the blade much like a wave levels a shore.
