Touch up on 6k, 5k, etc... i see this alot... but I got to thinking that what does it really do?
Does it form a new edge? How can you "touch up" an edge that has lost its sharpness? or given that it's not that blunt, what does "touch up" really do?
Also if you touch up on a loaded strop, how can it bring it back if all it does is refine the edge?
Or does it also align the edge like you would when you use a hone?
Just wondering....
