    I believe the issue with the strop would be that when it's nicked there is usually a small "tag" of leather gouged out that could roll under or over the blade and damage it. Once this is carefully removed with small scissors, stone, etc., then only the gouge itself is left BELOW the stropping surface, and you're good to go.

    Nicks are bad because creating a nick may dull the blade, there is work involved in the repair, and it is aesthetically bothersome to some.
