    I concur with the suggestion of Neil's strops.

    I have his aluminium modular paddle strop and it is a seriously well made piece of kit. The workmanship is a sight to behold. If you're in the market for a hanging strop I would have no doubt the same workmanship would be present.

    The first strop I bought was a really short and narrow strop from overseas. Although it does a good job, it is just too small for everyday use. (I now use it as my travel strop). Call me lazy, but I hated having to do X pattern strokes. I wanted something wider and longer. As a newb, I was overwhelmed with the possible choices so I called Lynn. At his advice I bought the Premium IV English Bridle. Since I'm relatively tall and have long arms I chose to buy the long one. It has a nice, what I'd call "medium" draw. It was fantastic right out of the box, but seems to be getting better as time goes by. For several months I used it exclusively and aways got fantastic results.

    As for the Premium I strop, I was fortunate enough to win it by random drawing at the Mid-Missouri meeting this past summer. It is a totally different beast - it is smooth, supple, and has an elegant draw.

    Someone with more experience may want to jump in here, but I feel like the Premium I puts a little finesse on the already excellent results from the Premium IV.

    If I had it all to do over again, I would have rigged it so that I won both strops at the meeting - he, he, he. Joking aside, I wouldn't change a thing. (And no, I didn't rig the drawing at the meeting)
