I needed a larger strop for my bigger razors. So here it is:
Stropping dimensions: 28.5" x 4.25"
Total Dimensions (including hardware): 41.5 x 4.25
Thanks again Tony!!
Oh...BTW, the razor pictured for size comparison is a monster 9/8 wedge!

WOW! Cool. Very nice Tony. So it is true - bigger is better? Or it's not the size of the strop (or blade) it's what you do with it?
BTW JL you are a bad influence. I'm looking at an 8/8 Henckels. Shhhh don't tell my wife.

Did you do the scales?
hmm, big razors, big strops... JL, are U trying to overcompensate for something?

Sorry JL but you knew that was going to happen. I think the "bigger is better" "more is better" is a guy thing. I blame nature. It has to be some kind of basic instinct. But I'll save my theories on why we guys do things that get us in trouble with our other halves for another thread.

And the of course buying another big older truck lol ;)
Josh, please tell us that the truck is used for lugging building supplies, engines, soil, manure or any other bulk materials, to eliminate some of the doubts :cool:

Let me see here, did I get all the hillbilly tactics that I grew up with? I doubt it, but they will foggily come back a little at a time. Stay tuned.

Wow.. I never thought I'd see this.. A person using a truck/suv the way it was meant to be used :eek: Here they are mostly used for parking on pedestrian islands when the mall parking lot is overcrowded.

Chatonabc,
It looks like you have pasted the post from BPatton on his grandfathers vintage strop to this thread instead of your message.
