Well I had to be the odd-one-out, but that’s how I was thought… compactly lift the blade at the end of the stroke, then touch the spine first at the beginning of the opposing stroke, takes a while to prefect, but simply a another rout to the same destination.
However as others have said, the safe way, is to roll the blade on its spine, and do not lift.
EDIT: My apologies, there was a typo in that first like... should have been: "completely lift the blade at the end of the stroke,"
