Thread: I know what I'm asking for for Christmas

You could take all the hardware off your damaged strop and glue the best remaining bit of leather to a board? That way you have a paddle strop to use now and something to perhaps paste later on. My 2c.

If its at the very top or very bottom, and assuming it has screws on the handles and top, Cut the end square and punch holes for the handle or top screws and use it as a shorter strop until you can replace it. If you did it in the middle, then +1 on the above. Good Luck, Howard

+1 on the Newspaper. About 4 pages taped to the smooth counter top and strop away !!!!!!!
