Gentlemen, a question. When using an old belt for stropping, is it best to use the burnished front of the belt or the sueded back of the belt? I've always assumed the back, but stand to be corrected.

Great guide
Thank you very much Sir, I'm gonna give it a try as I've always wondered what the correct method was.

I'm sure it wouldn't make any difference, Si, but I always go for the suede side, as its surface 'picks up' if I have a burr on the steel.
As this burr gets removed, the surface of the suede no longer gets picked up. In effect, the leather tells you about the edge of the knife.
