I've watched "Inglourious Basterds" [sic] and was rather unimpressed with the scene where that guy is allegedly sharpening/honing his knife against some kind of strop - he seems to be doing his best to blunt it rather than sharpen it. (It's a minor criticism - I thought it was a great film, and a much deserved Oscar for Christoph Waltz.)
The sound the blade makes is a rather theatrical schwing with each stroke. It got me thinking. The sound I get from a straight when I'm stropping it is like a lighter, quieter version of that schwing. Paranoia set it. Am I doing it wrong? Should I get no sound at all?
Tell me tell me.
