Here is one more question... Is hog skin any good for stroping or is it too rough?
I have seen pig skin strops but never used one. I would say that as long as it has actually been made into a razor strop, that is should be smooth enough. That is, you can't just skin a pig and slap a razor on it, but if you are buying a pig skin strop from a strop manufacturer, it should be fine.
The only difference between a rough strop and a smooth one is the way the leather is finished...so you can make any strop as smooth or rough as you want.Quote:

It depends on whether the skin is still ON the pig or not.

Ok, then it would be fine. Of course, with enough pigs you could . . . never mind.
If you can strop on the running pig then you can say you KNOW how to strop.Quote:
