Swivel knife sharpening

[Mungo]

Is it possible to change the geometry of a swivel knife blade just by stropping it? My knife came with a fantastic blade and I would hate to alter it to an undesirable angle. I probably don’t strop it as often as I should and when I do it’s only stropped two or three times on each side. Still, if need be I could get something like the Big Red by Chuck Smith to correct the angle. Thanks

You'd have to do a lot of stropping with a coarse abrasive to significantly change the blade geometry! Eventually though it would need touching up on an oilstone.
