Congrats on being NYC and aware of all of this! As far as corn finished, it doesn’t come with any extra shots. When calves are born (mine anyway) they get a “7-way” vaccination to protect against lethal illnesses such as blackleg. (That’s a whole different conversation). I don’t do implants or hormones etc. And I sure enough love the end product!
I’m good at sharpening, my issue is the touch ups on the steel while working and using a strop. I lack there a little.
Yes the corn-finished can be done without shots, as you seem to know much better than I do. A sort of "last minute cheat" to enhance marbling and flavor. Some day would love to see a study on what that does to the Omega 3/6 balance. Nothing good, of course. But possibly "still acceptable".
And yes, the strop. It's all about the strop and its proper use.
And yes, I am a NYC Boy. But what happened after that was that we moved away from NYC and to America. So I learned.
You seem to know this better than I do, so if I am telling you something you already know, then "that's just that problem we have with the internet". Or one of them, anyways.
I carry a stone. I use it for touch ups. It works well.

I assure you... the Swedes know something about knives and steel. :)
I also carry the little Worksharp, if I am really using my knife.
