Why have Fallkniven changed the DC4?

They now actually sell them with one side reversed after customer feedback, which is great.

That's really sensible of them

How necessary is a strop when you have a fine ceramic hone?

I have an original DC4, a new style DC4, a CC4, a Spyderco Double Stuff, and two Spyderco ceramic bench stones. I find on some knives the ceramic tends to flop the burr from one side to the other more than it removes it, have to change angles. Stropping is good at burr removal…and gives a polished edge. I still like to have a strop.
