I just received, and put to it's first use last night, a Tony Miller Heirloomm Latigo strop with the Genuine Linen. While I have been using an Illinois #827, this strop is just so much more! First off, it is constructed so much nicer than the Illinois. Heavier hardware, actual linen as opposed to the rigid canvas almost plastic product that the Illinois has, and a much nicer draw. I absolutely love it!
