Anyone else love knives but hate sharpening?

the strop is what makes the difference for me when it goes from sharp to hair popping sharp.

I love sharpening knives. I use Arkansas stones and am very pleased with edge I attain using a soft and then hard stone. Of course the leather strop is what really refines that edge. I will receive a soft and hard bench stone for Christmas plus a Black Arkansas bench stone. I can't wait to use the Black stone!!!!
