Hi All -

I'm about to launch two styles of bespoke razor strop - hanging and twin-sided paddle. Both are handcrafted, unique and top quality. The paddle will have a standard 11" x 3" bed. The wood is solid ash, English Oak etc. (that is, the handle isn't a separate piece that is screwed on to a stock frame), hand turned and finished. The paddle is in the TI 'spring-board' style and is covered with best English leather, A hanging hook can be fitted.

The hanging strops are (stock) 3" wide by some 19" bed length. 4.0 mm best cowhide. Hanging gear is all stainless steel, hand stitched with sinew, c/w wall bracket. Handles will be beech, ash, Oak etc. and pegged right through the leather in a full-depth 'tang' style (like a good-quality knife handle).

All is bespoke. If you want a 26" hanging strop - no problem.

These will not be cheap!

Some feedback from you gentlemen. Given that this will be genuinely top-class equipment - do you think there is a market?
