    maybe the glass would scratch up a bit....imagine if the blade edge then caught a scratch the result wouldn't be good.

    Honestly, never tried it. Try it and tell us how you go. (guessing the strop or mdf be better,,,something softer)

    The MDF with absorb the rouge and hold it. The glass will not (I assume - never tried it).

    I remember as a kid that the old man used to sharpen scissors on the rim of a thick drinking glass before he gave the 6 of us a basin cut. The point being, why not just hone the edge on the glass surface. Might try it and see how I go. Wonder what micron size glass is??
