After reading this post I ordered one. I've had it for about a week and I think it's great. Great leather and it felt broken in when I got it. The draw is getting a bit heavier (Med-Heavy?) but is very smooth. The strop has an almost convex surface to it, to resist cupping (I think?). At first I thought I wouldn't like it but after awhile I really appreciated it. It almost feels like the convex surface is focusing on the edge as you go across it during the x-stroke. If that makes any sense? Anyway, Tony Miller makes an awesome strop and I like the 2.5" width, maybe cause I like doing x-strokes?
