Bucktail,
No matter what type of sharpening you use a strop will get it sharper. That's something that just works.
I've used a strop on knives and chisels for years. They definitely make a difference. It's just this convex edge thing is new to me.
If you can enhance an edge you made on your Lansky with a strop you are good to go and will probably really like the BR. The only potential difference is you need a strop that "gives" a little in use as opposed to what you may already have......this is why people use the mouse pad and sandpaper method or something similar. The BR knife you are getting was made by a guy with a belt sander and the belt had slack in it creating a continuous curve from the spine all the way down to the apex.....a "full convex grind" with no "secondary bevel". When you sharpen, you want to replicate this.
What you are used to is using your Lansky to create a secondary bevel of say 20 degrees a side that forms a "V" to the apex. The convex grind comes to an apex from the spine with no "shoulder". Its just a different way of creating a cutting edge.
