    I love mine and I would recommend them!

    As far as to "is it worth the money?"... I personally think that it is worth the cost but others may/may not depending on what their disposable income is and how happy they are with their current equipment.

    Currently own a 90000 as the 80K was out of stock.
    Same thing but just a bit thicker.
    Love it!
    Still going to get an 80K as well.

    I have a number 3 and an 80k. I am crazy about both of them. They were worth the money to me. I would politely add that you should be very comfortable with your stropping technique, and if not, you may want to get comfortable before you lay blade to Kanoyama strop.

    I have that very strop and I love it, but I'm not a fan of the linen component I just don't get along with it, saying that there are other makers out there such as Neil Miller from the UK and Tony Miller from the USA who's strops are just as good.

    Gentlemen,
    I have both the Kanayama/Kanoyama 80000 and 70000 and love both for their quality and feel. I love the feel of the shell cordovan strop, period, because of the way the leather hugs the blade. The Kanayama/Kanoyama hugs with a sweet smooch.

    Jamie, one of these softens up the linen pretty quick but probably any steel brush would do.

    I also have an 80000. I love the feel of it and glad I bought it.
    Worth, just like in razors, is in the mind of the buyer.
    I find strops with handles more comfortable, but something you get use too.
    I think you have to be especially careful with this kanayama since the edges of the leather don't seem to be beveled. You can catch it easier in my opinion.
    I love living in the past...
