Thread: SRD Linen options

How does the cotton linen option on the SRD strops compare to the nylon webbing option ?

Thanks.

It contains more linen, but less nylon.

Seriously, I have both. I like the look and feel of the linen a lot better, but the nylon is more effective, both with and without paste.

Nylon is actually stronger then steel in tensillary strength at least. I have the webbing with CROX (hand american) its outstanding! I have to try the diamond sprayed lined to be a better judge but I love the webbing.

I agree with Robin. I like the IDEA of cotton or linen better than the Nylon, but the Nylon is proving to be more effective. In fact, it's been quite impressive.

Does the nylon tend to cause chipping on the edge easier due to it's deeper texture ?

Does the unpasted nylon tend to "refresh" the edge any less well given it's slicker nature ?

Thanks.

What in the world????????????????

The poly webbing actually produces very good results. What are you talking about regarding chipping due to texture??? Refresh an edge less from slicker nature????

The poly webbing is great... Do you think Robin, and I would recommend it if it wasn't? Better yet, do you think Lynn and Don would sell it if it wasn't? You don't build good reputations by doing shoddy work and selling counter productive products while attaching your name to it...

I like linen; however the webbing works great. I use the webbing on my srd bridle that I have had at my b/s for the last 9 months. I use it about 4-5 times a day. It works great!!!

The SRD webbing is a really nice "cloth" option, IMO. Used as a pre-leather, unpasted strop it's awesome. (Can't comment on pasted versions.) The only thing is, there's so little draw it's a little unnerving at first. At least for me it was.

I had linen on my first Dorko strop, and my main strop now is an SRD 3" black latigo with the webbed fabric. The webbed fabric works brilliantly and I've not noticed any major difference between the two materials.
