Thread: HA's Old Dog 830

I got mine a few weeks back and boy is it an awesome strop. Keith is a pleasure to deal with and the stop is my favorite out of 3 that I own and 2 other that I've tried. If time permits on the weekend, I will post a photographic play by play review on the strop. Thanks again Keith!

The stropping "feel" on the HA is excellent.

Isn't it just great? There is no beating it for the price... heck, I would have spent much more on such a great strop. I'm very surprised that he sells them for such a low price.

I'm vert tempted to buy another one just to have *in case*

You're as crazy as I am. I'm actually in the midst of ordering another one. :-)

Another Old Dog, or the Chicago SPecial?

Neither, I'll post up some shots when it gets here.

I've been wondering about the Chicago Special and the 830 as one is said to be for heavier blades IIRC. Look forward to review Mike!

For those who have both would you kindly post a review? Thanks

I've got a Chi Special ordered. Keith tells me it is great for Sheffield wedges and that hollow grounds only need like 10 round trips.

My Chicago shipped out 4 days ago.

It's normal to stare out the window in anticipation of the mailman....right?
