Thread: Storage for 4 sided paddle strop

I store it on the edge- it makes a nice conversation piece.
"What's that for?"
"That's if your bad"

The sides have taken a beating traveling though.
I've been afeared of creasing my hanging strop, even rolled, so I brought my paddle along.
I'm overdue and will be scrounging up some pastes when Tony Miller opens up in the New Year.

I just got a tony miller 4-sided one, and it stands up on the end quite nicely by itself . I'm (much like a lot of you here it sounds!) was pretty worried about lying it flat too, or storing it in a bag and fearing grit contamination....

if anyone is interested I still have some of these in the classifieds section.

This question has plauged mankind since the beginning of time. I have two of Tony's super wide paddles, 1.0, .5, .25 and cr02. At first, I stored them standing up on a shelf in my walk in closet. I have shelves for Hones, Razors, Razor Coffins, pastes, slurry stones, etc, etc...Anyway, now I just put them in the bag Tony provided and lay them down. I thought about drilling a hole in the handle and hanging them, but if that's such a good idea, why didn't Tony do it. You could take a piece of leather string/cord and tie it around the handle and hang it that way, so you don't have to deface the paddle. As a matter of fact, I'm going to call him and ask when he gets back from his vacation. I'll re post my findings. I don't think it's going to be to much of an issue. so far, I don't really see anything on the bags. I think once you apply it and let dry for 2 days or so it's on there, ain't comin off. IMHO.
