I would say keeping the plastic on the unused side does make a difference. If your technique is excellent, it might not make much of a difference, but I’ve been mainly using a shorter dozuki and I’m not that experienced with that, so it’s noticeable for me with the ryoba. The plastic is still pretty flexible, so it’s not as stiff as a dozuki, but it’s enough. Give it a try. Only going to be useful if your plastic bit is still nice and straight of course! I mean, it’s a curious side effect, I’m sure.
