Thread: Tony Miller Horsehide/linen surprise

I was VERY lucky and actually got the first one he ever made... Absolutely amazing strop !!!

Heres some pics I took when I first got it

Not sure how I'll replace it when he leaves for college in a month. I'm thinking another TM or the SRD modular paddle strop.

Same as my son, gave him my vintage blade latigo, ended buying him a feather artist club, no stropping for him now! Double O

I can't believe someone would sell their TM horsehide/linen strop . They must have been drunk . You really got lucky !

Been waiting on that one to pop up on the classifieds for a long time. Usually check in right after the good deals are marked SOLD

Where can a Tony or Neil Miller strop be purchased? It appears they are very scarce but is there a website that we can look at least?

Guys:

In my personal case I have just two strops: 1) Kanayma 2) Tony Miler. I just can't stop talking good details about the tony's one. 3 inches wide, about 17 1/2 inches long very soft leather, nice cotton on the back as a second piece . The leather is very thick and it smells better tha any woman in the world. And those are BIG words. Try one. In regards the Kanayama nobody can say anything wrong about those, the only detail is that they are not in production but hey if you can get one, just get it.
Theirs no a better combination in terms of strops than that one. Kanayama and Tony Miler one.
Thanks
K

Winner winner, chicken dinner!!!

I am on the current waiting list, and I cant wait! Thru emails Tony seems to be a real gentleman, and very willing to answer all your questions.
