Oh! My! Goodness!
Well, I just received my new 3" Latigo/linen Tony Miller Strop. All I can say is...WOW!
The leather, hardware, and workmanship is beyond anything that I've ever seen. Wow, products sure aren't made like this any more!
Tony, all I can say is that I'm in awe, and THANK YOU so much.
Mark.
P.S. shipping was lightning fast - especially being shipped to Canada!

Nobody understands all the hype about Tony's work, TILL THEY SEE IT THEMSELVES. Tony ONLY does quality work. Sometimes you have to wait to get his product, but when you get it , you know why you waited.

Thanked: 15^ +1
I got mine a few weeks ago. They are awesome.
I only found one flaw in mine and that was a circular cut mark into the surface of the leather around one of the handle fixing screws. I'm guessing it's from whatever tool was used to tighten it up. Certainly nothing too much to get concerned about and I have no hesitation in recommending Tony's strops to others.
Tony is a great chap to deal with.

Thanked: 735My only problem is that I got a Starter strop to begin with, and it is so damn nice and effective I can't justify springing for a top of the line model.
Yet!
Keep up the good work Tony!

Thanked: 735Yeah.
I'm working on the angle that a horsehide strop would be enough of a difference to justify another purchase. The fact that it would also include a canvas strop and jangly, shiny hardware may help my self-justification as well.
I'll let you all know how it turns out....Last edited by Seraphim; 05-29-2008 at 07:54 PM. Reason: typo

When I purchased my, a friend also ordered the 3" Latigo handled strop with Linen, and he just picked his up last night. I now have to clean my carpet from where he wet himself!
They are without a doubt some of the finest craftsmanship of any product I've ever seen. The draw on the latigo is nice and heavy without being overly onerous...a nice change from the uber light draw of my Dovo strop.
Tony, again, THANK YOU!
