I love mine. ... and the canvas is amazing. ...
Kanayama strops are in a league of their own. I have a #3 and a 60000 and they are both sublime. The canvas is second to none.
+ 1Once the canvas breaks in it is good, very stiff when new
The difference between the Kanayama I believe is the leather thickness and second component.
The suede on the # is fun to strop on
....
Love that canvas, it's awesome. I have 3 of them. I use the fire hose strop more often now but I still do use the Kanayama canvas.
The suede is great to strop on. I could strop on it all day long.
Thing is - it doesn't seem to do anything.
Yet - I still go back to it from time to time just because it feels so nice.
My thought was that between the fire hose (thanks again!) and the TM linen (and the 2 kinds of hemp I have), I'd be good to go, but....
Oh well, at least when I can't stand it anymore the shipping will only cost me 5 bux more than if I'd had sense enough to order it in the first place, maybe the suede will keep me happy in the meantime.
Kana 3 is the same quality leather as the others. As noted - not as thick or as long as the pricier versions and no second component.
NP.
Do you have the strop yet?
