Thanked: 10I think I chose some bad wording. What I meant was I found a vendor who sells shell cordovan strops for less than the non-shell Kanayamas. They are 3" wide and seem pretty big since they are both longer than my destroyed dovo.
Now I am terribly intimidated because the master has recommended the Kanayama basically. I know I can't go wrong. I think I am goign to take a chance on the shell because they are American made. It may not pan out, but for $200 I can get a large shell cordovan strop and I don;t think thats a terrible price because the big Kanayama is going to cost that or more.
If it doesn't work out, I will kick myself and tell everyone so they can say I told you so. I figure with the economy now, it would be more patriotic for me personally to buy American made products. I am sorry for the confusion.
Special thanks to JimmyHAD for his advice!
