Well, $140 isn't enough for a Kanayama, so I'd say for for a SRD IV 3" English bridle (the long version) and you'll still have money left over.

I'm sure the english bridle is good, but i'd like something else. I was hoping to find a second hand kanayama or hand american but they dont seem to show up

Exactly.... that's why I suggested the SRD strop :) If I had I Kanayama I wouldn't give it up either :w

I think it really depends on what you're looking for in a strop with regards to draw, second component or even third etc. I myself just purchased an SRD 3" Red Latigo and am very pleased with it..even with upgrading to the cotton component it was much less than $140 :) But again..it depends on your preferences.

I realize that my DIY nature seriously skews my response.

Having said that.

$100 will be buy you a whole assortment of leathers.
$40 will buy buy you enough d-rings and rivet, and punch to make several strops.

Soooo.....

I'd find a local saddlemaker, or tanner or someone that deals in leather.

Then the conversation would go something like this:

"I'd like 3x20 piece of....this...

....and this

....and this

....and that

...and this

...and this...."

You get the idea:D

Strops?

To the OP - Why don't you want the SRD EB? That is what I would suggest as well. I have one and LOVE it.

I did not see this is posted in the strops forum.

@ OP I personally use SRD IV and I like it a lot.

It's a moot point now guys - Dups just pulled the trigger on a Kanayama (!): http://straightrazorpalace.com/strop...ily-strop.html

Lucky bugger :D

I would rather get 1 item for $140 than 5 mediocre items that add up to $140.

I sure did Ryan! Well I guess my parents did which is why I won't get a chance to use it before christmas. I also too advantage of Jim's 10% discount. I asked for the logo on mine to be blue. Can't wait to test it out!
