Strop info

So my Question is can you use a paddle strop on a Curved edge sorta like a zt350 or do you need a belt style strop?
Any help will be Appreciated.

Yes you can use a paddle type. Just try to keep the edge in line with the direction you are stropping. IE rotate the handle to maintain straight line stropping. Not hard to do with practice. Go slow and with light pressure.

yea it can be down you just gotta get the wrist movement down, while maintaining the angle, takes a little bit of practice but it works just fine. I might add you can also use the sharpie trick while stropping to make sure your hitting the edge. Actually i suggest you do mark the edge with sharpie to make sure you are hitting it otherwise you may just spend a whole lotta time doing nothing or you could even dull your blade, which I've also done several times while learning to strop.
