I always strop my knives little on bare leather or strop to clean the edge up and keep the toothyness which i realized is gone when using fine compounds because I prefer and use toothy edge for all my needs.I understand theres some diamond compounds that allow you to retain toothyness while polishing the blade little more.The toothyness also depends on type of steel youre using and not all steels react to polishing same.Your thoughts and experiences are welcome!!!What are best compounds to load the strop with to keep the toothyness and bite on edge?I strop on palm or bare leather strop and get excellent results.If i need polished edge for woodwork use green compound.all ideas and experiences are welcome.
