    Default New Strops

    These are two of the strops I'm making now. The one on the left is of 9oz horsehide and the other is 9oz cowhide.

    Yes, I'm selling them now. (I sure wish I had my new web-site up.) I have three levels. All prices include CONUS shipping.

    My entry level is the "Filly" it is made from 8-9oz 2"-2 1/2" X 17-20" top grain cowhide it has no handles or hanger hardware. It does come with a thong for looping around a doorknob or towel rack. I'm selling these for $25.00. It's a great starter/travel strop. I've sold a bunch of these.

    My middle line is the "El Toro" it is 9oz top grain cowhide. It is sized 2"-2 1/2" X 17-20" it can come handle less or with a D ring, it is also available with a 2" canvas strop. It has a swivel clip hanger. These range from $35.00 to $55.00.

    My top line is the "Paladin", these are made from 8-9oz 2"-2 1/2" X 17-20" premium horsehide. They are also available with a 2" canvas strop. The can be made handleless or with D ring handle. It has a swivel clip hanger. They can be all in one or as a double strop. Prices range from $65.00 to $95.00. If a 3" wide cut is requested I charge an additional $15.00.

    At this time I only have 2" wide canvas. I have not found a source for 2 1/2" or 3" canvas our linen that I am willing to invest in. Minimum orders of 1,000 yards are bit more then I can handle at this time.

    At this point I'm taking custom orders. I can't keep them in stock.

    I know this is an old thread but... you used gait belts for the canvas, didn't you?

    I have one laying around, that I will never use. What a good idea!

    I have no idea what the original purpose of the canvas strap intended. I was just lucky to find a roll.
