We have strayed from the OP question, but since others have posted pleasant experiences with various strops, I will chime in.
I have a new piece of horse hide given to me by Mrsell63 that is a joy to use.
It is fitted to the hardware of a junk strop I had (first buy when starting out), has no handle (like old timer strops), and is less than 3" which I have been using.
This is from a sheet of horse hide Jerry picked up, and was kind enough to share.
It has a beautiful stroke, draw, and feel. Plus, I think I like the 'less than' 3" width.
I doubt it will have collector's value, but it is a sweetheart piece of horse hinny.
