Kanayama Strop

**zib** · 08-03-2010, 02:58 PM

Well, I finally broke down and pulled the trigger on the Kanayama 90000.
As luck would have it, they're having a sale....!
I'm looking forward to it, I've heard lot's of good things. I talked to Jim a little via email. They're also doing different color stamps on the strops now. Blue, Green, etc..I stuck with the Gold. I think it looks good.

I've heard members on here talk about razors with etched/worked spines leaving scratch marks on the strop? Anybody have any input...?

More like little blemish marks Rich.

Happens on all strops. Bootiful strops dude!!

Have fun,

Lynn

I've got a couple of customs with worked backs that have scratched a strop. That is now my default strop for those kinds of razors.

I have the 90,000 and I take it out of the box and look at it every once in awhile. I may strop a razor on it one of these days.

You'll love the Kanayama. I have a lower end model (thus thinner leather), but can confidently say, they're gorgeous strops with a light smooth draw...

You are going to be very happy you purchased that strop! I have a 60k that I adore. Not only are they beautiful to look at and touch, they perform as you would expect a strop master craftsman's work to perform. Excellent choice. And Jim is great to deal with.

I have the 70000 and it is very nice. I was all bunched up when I made my first few passes, I can only imagine what the 90000 is like. Nothing but the best. Have fun.

WOW! Nice choice. So, you're considering actually using it? Kudos my man!

Rest assured, you will absolutely love it!
I have the 90000 as well and it is my favorite strop now.
A few of my customs are too hard on strops to get the Kanayama treatment, so they have their own strop now.
