As all good things do, the benefits of stropping an edge come in three;
· Stropping a freshly sharpened edge enables the removal of even the smallest foil/wire burr which form during the sharpening process. This burr removal ensures a clean apex that both improves sharpness and overall edge durability
· Stropping an edge in use aid's in gently polishing the apex to restore some sharpness. This is especially noticeable on edges made with high wear resistant steels; which don't tend to experience edge rolling like softer/lower alloyed steels do
· Stropping also removes any oxidation build up, which occurs at a microscopic level regardless of the alloy. But especially useful for those of the high carbon core persuasions where keeping edges rust free can be challenging
