Sebenza 31 Complaint - sacrilege!

I would add the 800/1000. Not only you can have a more refined edge but you don’t need strops with those IMO. Couple passes and you are golden

My understanding is that the strop is to help at the end with with removing any remaining wire edge (or burr), and doesn't cause any edge roll if done properly. I usually will still finish with a strop even if I have used a fine ceramic stone as the last step.

I think it depends on how much deformation occurs based on steel and how much metal you remove.
If you are only maintaining the edge, with a few passes you won’t create a big burr and won’t need to break it off.
Just my experience with fine stones

You do need a leather strop if you are intending to keep the CRK-style convex edge.
