That sounds primo to me actually. I for some reason or another like the sound of a super thin strop. I've tried wide, narrow, thick, but not yet thin! SAD sets in....

Now being the proud owner of a JimboRoo strop, too, I cannot commend it highly enough. Yes, it is a bit on the thin side, but when pulled tight, it just works like a charm. All my blades love it.

Thank you, Jimbo!

On the subject of leather adhesive, a friend of mine who plays bagpipes gives me his old leather bladder/bellows every few years, these things are usually glued only, no stitching, the glue is exceptionally strong and flexible, strong enough to support a lot of squeezing and a very stiff oversized waterproof zip, they cope ok with moisture. I couldnt seperate the glued seams by any means. Might be worth investigating what glue the top end pipe bag makers use if anyone wants to try a glued strop.

Hey Jimbo,

Do you have an update on how these strops are going?

Being a fellow Brisbanite, kangaroo is quite appealing.
