    I like a handle. I prefer the strops from SRD. They are breath-taking. Although there is an initial learning curve I like an impressive strop and think a good strop is money well spent. I'd take a good SRD strop without a handle over almost anything else though. If there was one acquisition disorder that made sense to me, strop purchases would be it.

    Yea, another with a preference for handles on a strop. I have long arms and can use every inch of a 20 inch long strop. I appreciate not having my fingers near the blade when I flip it.

    I like a D-ring, though I chopped my favourite strop with a d-ring handle and the others I own have handles. That said, my new Tony Miller is pretty sweet with a handle. I might try throwing a D-ring on it and see how I like it.

    Thanks for the responses, guys! That's about what I thought. I'll probably end up with a Tony Miller with a handle of some sort. I appreciate the posts!
