Thread: Kanayama heaven

So I got my Kanayama 60K last night.

Is it a piece of art…a beauty to behold? Oh yeah
When I put the claw hold on it does it feel supple and pleasurable? Yep sure does
Does the draw have a silky, magnetic erotic feel? Pure bliss

I’m pretty sure I got a stropping “chubby” last night!!!

Just sharing,

You made a great choice. That craftsman's strops are just magic to look at and to use.
Enjoy.

I concur with your review

ENJOY!

Good thing you stopped where you did. Any more "erotic feel talk" and the vice squad might be paying you a visit.

Har har.

They are very nice strops, I have a #3 and a 90K myself.

What about the fabric strop? Have heard of some issues there?

I say the fabric needs a good breaking in. And it becomes a very nice strop. I ordered a second one and use it with CR0X. I like the feel of it so much. To break it in I washed it a couple time in the washing machine. Then had to glue the leather piece back on the end. Then took a metal ruler and ran it up and down a bunch of time at 90 degrees to the strop and that softened it right up. Now its not so zippy and I love it. I love the suede strop too.

Congrads on a great buy. He might not be around much longer so I had to buy one myself.

I imagine I've heard the same about the fabric portion. I haven't even used it yet. I was going to break it in off the instructions on seller's website (wash it a few dozen times, beat it with a wooden hammer till it's dead, then work it over with glass).

It's pretty stiff. A little more stiff than the webbed strop that came with my SRD strop, but not much. The SRD fabric is just now softening up (bought it in July) and I haven't done anything to it but strop.

I'll let you know after I treat it this weekend.

The man is likely quite old. Hopefully, he is passing on some skills to young helpers.
They were hard to come by new for a while.

Now, seems there are plenty.. A good strop is exactly that!

All of my older ones are sewn or riveted on.

Truly a fine, fine strop.
I have the 3 and consider getting the 60 or 90k for special occasions and as a back up.
Terrific fast draw on his strop I find compared to my bridal leather one.
Enjoy.

Throw us some good pics , when you get time.
