UntilI get my TM strop I am faced with dealing with what I have: A two piece Horsehide I got on Ebay. 2-1/2" x 24". The front piece has a large scar and it's quite deep. Unfortunatly, the scar is in the middle and I don't feel it's salvagable. The other side is a black leather that looks to have very slight dimples in it. This piece seems to not have been used by the previous owner.

What is this for? - and can I use this, for now, as my main strop? I do have a cheap Zeepk that I have lost confidense in and I would prefer not to use it.
