Okay so I'm not new to sharpening or stropping on leather with compounds, but earlier today I found a channel on YouTube where the guy strops his blades edge trailing on stones. Has anyone ever seen this or done this? I usually sharpen on diamond and strops but I am building a collection of kitchen knives, and I bought a 1000/4000 whetstone for them. I have a 2000/5000 and a 3000/8000 coming in. The 1000 gets my edges sharp enough with a few passes on a leather belt to feather paper, but I want to use the 4000 side. I have issues with losing my edge when I try to move up to 4000 so I am interested in this stropping technique for polishing. Any help would be appreciated.
