I dunno myself, since I've only ever been able to strop on horse shell and black latigo (which is my favorite of the two), but everyone who has used a kangaroo strop seems to love em, so I'd trust Jimbo's input on this. I'd actually love to try some out one day, since I've heard they have a lot of draw as well, which I love more draw on a strop, and since I've heard such great things about 'roo.
