    What is the length of that one Jamie? I assume they do custom lengths where possible?

    Go on, you know you want one! And it's on your island... practically next door! English made for an Englishman. How can you say no?

    Get out your wallet. Resistance is futile!

    Just checked out Alastair's webpage after seeing this thread, will be placing an order for one of his starter strops, these seem excellent strops and superb value (being UK based).

    Very nice indeed. I have been looking at these for some time now. I really like the stuffed handles. Do you find that they are comfortable and do they get dirty?
    Fact: Opinions are not the same as facts... Well, that's my opinion anyway

    I find the handles very comfortable to use and mine does not get dirty, I only use with clean hands and when not in use it hangs in my cupboard.
