Strop works great for the burr from finer stones. especially if it has a bit of
polishing compound on it. Coarse stone burrs need a fine stone to get them off.
I have a small (~1" x 2" x 1/4") translucent white arkansas stone that would
probably do the job. Sometimes I get a ceramic rod into play on contoured edges
for that sort of thing.
