Got mine in today. I ordered it with the leather pouch for $10.99. The pouch is well worth the extra $3 in my opinion. It's similar to the ones made by TI and the quality is not too bad. I may order a couple more of the pouches for travel.

I decided to give it a quick strop befor inspecting the bevel and I got a little surprise. Theres a bit of a sharp angle on the point that put a nasty scratch in my favorite strop. I've had this Star Shaving strop for three or four years with no cuts or scratches, until today. Not happy about this, but it's my fault for not inspecting better.

I tried a HHT and it actually passed on most of the blade. I could tell that it's not where it needs more be, but better then expected. Under magnification it looks like it was honed to about 4-5k and the bevel is not fully set on the heal. I may give this thing a try before I hone it, just for fun.
