My EDC is a Kershaw Groove, which has a recurve edge. I was wondering if there was anything special I should know about sharpening, and especially stropping, such a blade shape. Any tips and tricks?

Thanks ladies and gents.:)
 
Get a wood dowl and glue the leather on to it. Use just like you would a regular strop.

A word of caution, the smaller contact area puts more pressure on the edge so be more careful to prevent edge rolling.
 
If you are using a wood block with leather glued on top, just use the edge or corner of the leather to do the stropping.
