We were all suitably impressed with the results. Horse butt is the hardest, toughest leather we have ever seen. But it still retains the basic characteristic of a great strop. The best part is that the stuff is so dense, it won’t easily groove if you are stropping narrow carving tools. So we decided to offer them for sale. We know the price might seem high, but the leather is expensive, the volume is low, and this is top-notch double-sided vegetable tanned leather. We think it’s worth it, especially for carvers.
The material is too thick (3 /32″ – 1/8″ ) to bend into slips but the edges work great. One side of the strop is smooth – we use it plain – and the other side is a little rougher, which is perfect for holding and catching honing compound.
The strops may show variations in tone or texture since it is a natural product. These variations do not affect performance or durability.
15″ long x 3″ wide. Made in USA.
