Take a strop to (4)

I believe the answer is:

hone

'take a strop to' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for hone that I've seen before include "Smooth stone" , "Strop" , "Sharpen (a blade)" , "Sharpen tool on stone" , "Polish" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
