Thread: "Proper" Width of a Strop?

to OP: i have a 6"x1.25" frame strop (like loom strop) that i like very much. Ive also heard of old strops that were no more than an inch wide. so go ahead and try the 1.5 inch strip of leather you have left over.

mickr: i've heard of leather splitting referred to as skiving (skeeving?). they were most certainly talking about what you are describing, and not beveling edges.
