    Default Exactly what does this mean?

    I've been strop shopping off and on for a few months, and came across this: "Jemico Dovo German Razor Strop 23 inch Rindleder Leather & Canvas." Jemico DOVO German Razor Strop 23" Rindleder Leather & Canvas - Knifecenter.com

    My question is, what exactly is "Rindleder?" What I get in a search is that "leder" is German for leather or chamois.

    Is this a good strop?
    I strop my razor with my eyes closed.

    "Rind" means cow.

    Rindleder is cow leather, as opposed to horse or whatever.

    No personal experience with it, but I'm sure it's sufficient, the same as the Dovo strops I believe.

    Thanks for the replies, guys. Picking out a strop is like turning my wife loose in a shoe store!
