Review: Perfect for making your own strop - I hate the prebuilt strops I've had, only the tandy leather strop was good. it has a handle. i cant stand using a strop without a handle because I press on the blade, and i have to hold the strop in place. I ordered this, concerned it wouldn't have the sufficient loose grain on the inside. you need that if you're going to use compound because the loose pieces help hold it in. This piece is absolutely perfect for making a strop for my carving knives. I run through the leather fast, because I carve about 4 hours a day and hone my knived every 20 minutes or so to keep them sharp. I was concerned this wouldn't be thick enough, but it's right as advertised at about 2mm. Both sides are usable. I picked up a 2x4 at Lowes, cut it to 16 inches. Sanded all the sides, and carved the first 4 inches into a nice round handle. I used spray adhesive that I have here and it works, but i found that it's not the 'best' way to adhere the leather. So i ended up using Elmer's wood glue, and resting it on a flat board and put one on top, put two boxes of carving wood on top for weight and let it dry for a few hours. Works perfectly, and since it's shreaded on both sides, it holds the glue well too. i'm ordering at least 4 more of these so i have some stock. but this stuff is fantastic for a strop. also, as you probably know, if you really work the leather you can really soften this stuff up. i did so to wrap the handle. it's stiff as i wanted, but if you work the leather it softens nicely. perfect product, no more spending 20 bucks for a strop and building my own two sides WIDE one for 4 bucks for the leather and 2 bucks for an untreated stud at Lowes.
Review: Good leather - Exactly what i ordered..note if making a stroup..order stroup vegetable tanned leather..much nicer and smoother..i made due with this..
