An Unscientific Comparison Of The Thickness Of Shell Strops
I figured it might be better to do this in a stand alone thread where it won't be buried within the 'European strop' thread. I measured the thickness of these using a Starrett metric dial caliper. The strops are all marked Shell with the exception of the Red Imp. The Red Imp is said in a Certifyd catalog to be Shell. You'll be viewing the strops listed top to bottom from left to right in each photo ;
Certifyd Red IMP 3.9mm
Sears Roebuck 2.3mm
Koken 1.6 (very old strop)
Dubl Duck 3.5
C-Mon 'Broke In' 1.8
C-Mon Master 3.5
Wester Bros 3mm
Kanayama 80,000 3.9mm
