    Default Ambrose "De Caballo Mas Fino" Strop, Vintage linen strop and a DMT

    Ambrose strop has only been used once, still as new. I hate to sell it, but my wife is irked at the ever growing number. It is 2.5x20". From the maker:
    This is a new treated horsehide made to look and feel like vintage shell. Boy oh boy ! it sure does ! Its hard and tight in surface with a fast action, yet a supple quality to it. If you are familiar with a vintage shell strop or horween cordovan you will just love this one! In my opinion its far far better than horween shell, its thicker and overall much nicer. The leather used is only the thick section of the hide, shaved down and treated. The color is a deep red brown, new hand embossed logos, hand embossed ultra fine diamond back, gun metal screws.
    The first 2 pics are from Jose as the quality is much better than my camera. $80 shipped CONUS. !! SOLD !!


    Vintage Linen is 2.5" wide, 23" long with the handle, about 17" of linen itself. Lightly used. $17 shipped CONUS. !! SOLD !!

    You guys are killing me this week. Enough already. I mean, Ambrose strops, Le Grelots, custom straights with clocks on the scales, coticules, SypderCo hones. How am I supposed to practice restraint?

    It really is all James' fault.

    (Okay, maybe Owen had something to do with it as well.
