Thread: Loom Strops/Slack

The edge benefits from a little bit of pressure to help straighten the fin back out and scrub off the corroded and weakened steel. As the edge wears and rounds a bit from the accumulation of mechanical stress and corrosion, then the slack helps put the strop's pressure on the edge where it can do some good, instead of on the bevel where it's increasingly wasted as the edge wears.

I've got one of the cheap loom strops and always thought it was adequate for a travel strop but was never impressed with it for daily use. The lack of linen is a major problem for me, and putting chrome oxide on one side of the loop doesn't cut it. Does any loom strop maker make dual-material strops in a reasonable length (8"-12") that *aren't* pasted?
