Guys,

I give my whole-hearted recommendation to Ken's Paladin. I have the 3 inch version with all the features (d-rings on both strops, canvas, and really nice horsehide). I think it cost about $85.

It's my only strop. I see no reason to go to anything else. Ken also included a pumice stone in my package (not sure if he's still doing this) and I've just recently refreshed the surface of the horsehide. The feedback is great, the construction is sturdy and the thing screams quality.

How's that for a recommendation?
