    personally I prefer the straight across the bottom no hardware style. I think it looks classier.

    I haven't used a handle, but the D-ring certainly makes it easy to hold the canvas and leather at the same time and keep one taut.

    I just asked Tony what he used, and purchased that style.
    2 1/2" Artisan with handle. Knowing that I'd adapt to whichever one I got.
    I figured that getting the same type that Tony uses would be a great start.
    I am anxiously waiting for the postman to deliver the goods!

    Take care,
    Mitch

    I'm doing the same thing. The practice strop is a great confidence builder.

    I went with Tony's D ring heirloom for my first...I figured it would be easier to hold on to. With all the great reviews I knew there wasn't a bad choice. Should be here next week.
