Finally sprung for a strop...finally! Got the black and green compound and went at a few blades. Overall, it's great! Brought back my Sage II nicely and my Howling Rat and S5 took wicked edges quickly. The WD is coming along nicely- figure that one will take more time.
My Bark River Gunny I couldn't do a thing with...go figure- thought strops were made for convex edges!? I think I dulled it actually...had it sharpening and finished it duller! I did well with my little Koyote convex...put a nasty edge on that...although that grind is very, very different...
Suggestions on using it? Any trouble spots on the blade? Towards the choil maybe? Tips on managing the weak side? Hows about a position? Had it flat, sat on the floor and had it at a 45 degree angle...both felt fine...
Thoughts and tips are very, very welcome!
