European sources

Although it's not a problem to order thing from the states, I wonder if anyone knows some good adresses outside the USA, preferebly in europe.
It just seems that most artisans and vendor live in the states and Canada. (No surpise, since this is an americanbased site).

So, let's start with a thread about good sources (either internetbased or with an ectual shop) and great artisans (makers of strops, paddles, anything).

I'll post this thread in the honessection as well. If it's out of place, I trust a moderator to put it in the right place.

So, keep on giving the info.

Strops and Paddles?

Try Strop shop Uk (Neil Miller) &

The Invisible Edge (Blue Principle / Steve Dempster)


Both produce top quality strops and paddles, custom options also.

Böker has paddle stropps. I use one for travelling.

De Messenwinkel / Oud huis De Koordenwinkel

Their store is in Antwerp.
Nice people.

Best regards,
Bart.
