Don't bassoonists generally use a strop to hone the edge on their knives?

I was taught that a strop would cause too fine an edge, but I like to try
new things and experiment.

I would think that one could find a strop from a US source easily enough; I
saw some at the doublereed conference a few yrs ago.
