New Westholme Strop
Just received this yesterday. Veg tanned leather and linen strop. Quality materials and 1st class hardware. A delightful guy to communicate with .

That is a nice looking strop. I would love to be able to try the linen out. Perhaps in the not so distant future one might show up in my mail box.
It's not what you know, it's who you take fishing!

I was on his website not too long ago, and my mind started to venture into the danger zone. He has some very high end options I really like, that would make up an amazing strop. When it comes time for me to purchase another strop, it will be from him.
Love the look of yours here. Enjoy!Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

Alastair Summers makes some wonderful strops. I have his Shell with Latigo as the secondary side and it is a first class strop.
Im thinking about getting a linen strop at sometime too.
Alastair is also a gent to deal with.Last edited by markbignosekelly; 03-26-2017 at 05:26 PM.

Only had it 2 days and feeling an urge to order another just to hang up and admire. Sick or what?

We all have our vices here and strops are not a bad one to have.

I do too, but I'm not about to admit it on a public forum.

I have a pile of them hanging in a safe. You open it up and a plethora of leathers greets your senses.
Quite nice!
