Thanked: 335Another vote for the D-ring. I find it the easiest to grasp and it tends to eliminate cupping of the strop.

I have one of TM's starter strops with the handle.
I have noticed it can cause cupping of the
strop if you're not careful. I've also seen strops
with a handle detached from the strop
itself with a D handle which I think would work
pretty good. I like the idea of a traditional
handle.

Actually on my Artisans both the Dee ring and the rectangular ring holding the handle are the same width so either would eliminate cupping to the same amount. If cupping is a real concern a 2 1/2" would have les tendancy towards this..........as would not pulling quite so hard on the strop <g>.
I think the Starter would be the only version where cupping could be an issue and again, only if pulling too hard.
