    Default rough and ready home made strop

    Last night I made myself a crude homemade strop out of a strip of veg tanned leather I bought from Zack White. I used my 120 year old letterpress to deboss a little design on the handle. I put up more info in a post to my blog:

    Very nice. Looks like it was made by a pro.
