I've recently found the joys of stropping (leather/ chromium oxide) my gyuto at work in-between sharpening sessions. It works great except for the belly to tip section of the blade is difficult to hone to a good edge. Is it because it requires more work due to the fact that this part of the knife sees more contact with the poly board? Or is there a different technique to strop the belly? Bit of both?
