Hi everyone, hopefully a quick question. Having honed to a reasonable level a few blades now I have encountered a problem, I tend to tape the spines of blades with two layers of electrical tape to protect the spine from wear. I realise that at some level this must be "thickening" for want of a better word, the cutting edge but I can live with that. What I am not sure about is what happens when the blade then goes to the strop. Up until now I have always removed the tape prior to stroping. I am guessing that even when pulled taught the strop is pliant enough for the very tip of the blade to be polished?

Is this the case?

Would very much welcome anyone's feedback or opinions for or against my theory.

Thanks
Adam
