The box is pretty cool. I am not a fan of the leather on the swivel. Everything else looks good though.

High class piece of kit. That said, I do not care for the leather covered D ring and swivel piece.
Also I do not like the idea of snap buttons for attaching the swivel piece to the strop. I understand why it is necessary to keep the stored strop as compact as possible but they can become faulty in short order.

maybe you're thruth, i just waiting the comments of the user after one or two years to see if i must change the system.
thanks Bob!
There is no doubt it is an excellent piece of leather work and I'm just nit picking at the edges here. I'm sure the user will be very satisfied in the long run.Quote:

Thank you for your advice and guidance, it is certain that all tastes are in the nature of each of us, and ultimately, the one who does, is required to make a work in accordance with the wishes and expectations of the one who receives the work, and his satisfaction is our first encouragement.
the person doing the work is required to do everything possible to ensure that the result is as close as possible to expectations,
Its own tastes and desires or wishes are irrelevant.
Yes, that is certainly understood when making bespoke/custom goods for a client. The client's wishes/desires are the only thing that matters and must be met. The only way out of that is to politely refuse a commission.Quote:

If someone travels a lot and has the ability to hang the strop more than leaving it rolled... I like it. But if its going to be rolled up most of it life and stored, im not too sure how the leather is going to keep smooth. Possibly wrinkle from being rolled up a lot of time? I fine piece of craftmanship! :tu
very good question to which I can only answer in one year, a time limit to which the owner has committed to give me a user feedback.Quote:

Thank you Sir.Quote:
