Someone must have honed with a crazy amount of pressure on the spine to wear it out but it's still hard to visualise that adequate steel could remain at the edge.
I'd say you're in no-man's land with 2 layers for stropping . One is no problem, 3, I would strop taped, 2 dunno, I'd probably tape it but guys that can work a slack strop may disagree.
