Medal of Award ROZOR strop #835
I just picked up a new strop from fleabay, I had seen some others of this brand posted on here before, it looks like it's in good condition and for the price I hope it performs well.

Does anyone have any experience with this model? my only other strop is pretty bad shape, so this has to be an improvement.
ROZOR strop.. LOL that's how it was listed...
I will post some real photos after I get it in.

Hard to tell from the pictures. It's a matter of what condition the surface is in. It doesn't look bad.
it's medal of award by the way not honor.No matter how many men you kill you can't kill your successor-Emperor Nero

Oh crap, I was giggling when I was typing rozor and goofed that up, can any mods fix it so that future searches are correct? That's why I like to put the name in the title, as I myself am always doing searches for items.

I have the same one, its one of my two "go to" strops.. The canvas on mine is a little stiff and im not sure it does any good, so I use my other strop's canvas instead when required.
Decent price if its in good shape!

Thank you EPD for the info, I was hoping it might be a decent one to use, and not the el' Cheopo of 40 years ago.(or how ever old it is)

Title edited. So you reckon people will search for 'rozor' strops ? Originally Posted by sidmind

I received my Medal of Award strop today in the mail, I am very pleased, I would say it was like new, other than a few scratches in the leather, that look like a finger nail, or something.
it WAS like new, as my first time using it I nicked it, man I feel stupid. lucky it wasn't a bad nick. but still.......
Also I really like the linen side, it feels much better than my other old junkie strop I have been using.
Overall the strop has a nice draw to it, (keep in mind I have never owned a top quality version, so I have nothing to compare to other than everything all you have said.)Last edited by sidmind; 10-07-2011 at 08:07 PM.

I'm pretty sure it's an Illinois strop. They had/have a lot of models, and all are good strops. As long as the leather is still good, which it sounds like it is, you'll be fine.
Have fun
