I have an "Army and Navy" strop made by the M.J. Rubin Company of New York. It could be a military issue strop because it has a Navy ID number (U.S.N. No. 3-595) imprinted on it, and it came with some other Navy medical items. Anyway, one side of the strop is dotted with a pattern of small indentions and is imprinted with "Multi Dot Honing Side". I guess this is a substitute for linen, but I have never seen another like it. Has anyone else had any experience with this type of surface? Is it meant to used as is, or could it be pasted with diamond or chrom ox? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
