Good Choice ! I got the same one off Tony a few months ago. I love it. It compliments my baby soft leather solingen strop. It's also nice and wide, which is different if your use to the x pattern like I am. I think you'll like the red latigo, It gives nice feedback. I spoke to Tony as well. He's a nice a guy and he helped me decide what was good for me. Rich
P.S. I think the thread is called "Strop Differences" Tony explains in detail.....Do a search....
