Hey Iz6 and RicTic ... good suggestions on making a custom request.

As for Neil Miller's strop not being "modular", I meant that the handle and hardware are "sewn" into the strop, rather than the hardware/screws that make the strop replaceable if for some reason (e.g, operator error) the strop gets damaged.

I must be suffering from "male-not-wanting-to-ask-for-help disorder" ... I should've thought of asking both Neil Miller and JimR (Kanayama) if they can make a "custom" strop given the fact that their handcrafted work is really more like custom anyway.

Much appreciated!
