    Default Do you guys know anything about this strop?

    Is this a quality product? Would I be able to make it a pasted strop?

    Glad you asked! I have been recommending the Jemico strop to guys for a while as a first strop. The leather is very nice, unlike other ebay strops. what I would wonder is has anyone seen the parallel to Dovo strops? I started with a Dovo Prima rindleder and recently bought a Jemico prima for a friend and I would swear they are the same thing??? Yes, I even used it for a bit and it was very good. I would say it would be just the ticket to paste!

    I rest my case.

    I think for the most part they are the same quality just different names.

    I always thought they were exactly the same product just different name. The jemco was the first strop I had. it's a quality piece alright.

    They , like so many other products that appear identical but have different brand names , are most likely made in the same factory , with the same components , by the same people .
    BTW , my first strop was a Jemico , too .
