First set of strokes for microtome knife stropping. Lipshaw offers several block strop combinations; the revolving one is especially handy. First use a honing strop, usually made of pigskin with a fine abrasive embedded in it. Then follow with the finishing strop, a fine-grain horse- hide. The two patterns for stropping are similar to those of honing, btit with the cutting edge moving away from the strop. (Figs. 7, 8) Repeat

(Figs. 7, 8) Repeat these strokes on the honing strop until fine abrasions caused by the hone have been smoothed away, then polish with a few strokes on the finish- ing strop. Only a dozen strokes on the latter should be necessary if the preliminary honing and stropping have been properly done. While honing and stropping, use both hands, left one on the back and adjacent knife surface, and the right hand on the handle. Press on lightly, guid-.
