    Just the "Filly" starter/travel strop. It was my starter strop, and is now my travel strop. The back has ChromOx on it (don't know if he always does that, you might want to ask).
    It is a very simple strop, but funtions very well, looks good, and I am more than pleased.

    On top of that, his service is top notch. I'm sure the rest of his strops are just as great. I do not see him putting his name on anything of low quality.

    I purchased a horsehide strop from Ken last year and found that it worked very well. I have no reservations about recommending his horsehide strops. I believe it was less expensive than a TM, but the hardware (hanger) and fit and finish is not as hefty or as detailed as a TM. A simple well made strop.

    Since then I did modify my Kenrup by hand finishing the flesh side bringing it down to a uniform velvet surface and replaced the hanger with a D ring for no reason other than I had a D ring on my workbench when I was finishing the flesh side of the strop.
