If you want an example of the care and detail Tony puts into his strops, just notice how the slots of the fastening screws all line up the same! Wow
hope likes this.

The pictures do not do the thing justice. You have feel the heft of it and most of all use it to really appreciate it.

Tony takes pride in his craft, I purchased a Latigo from him years ago and it's is my daily go-to strop. Hope it serves you well for years to come.

Good choice! My first ever strop was a TM Latigo Heirloom. I originally bought it many years ago it without any fabric, and when I decided last year to add some linen, I contacted Tony and he made a piece that fit *perfectly* with my original leather strop. Just unscrewed it, added the linen, and screwed it together again. The fit and finish is perfect.
I have since made a couple of strops myself just because I like making things, but I still use my Heirloom 90% of the time, and imagine I will for many, many years to come.
It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

The workmanship on the TM strops is outstanding, and his Premium Steerhide has the nicest draw of any cowhide I've tried.
