My new Strop arrived

Just wanted to share the good news...

-3”
-Horween oil tanned horsehide
-Natural linen
-Norwegian natural horsehide crust leather 3ply paddle

From Mr. Torolf @ Scrupleworks

Can't wait to get home and test this baby...
...just need to tell the boss that im feeling a bit ill

That's a beauty. I really like the two tone contrast. Does "crust leather" mean the same thing as top grain leather?

I'm guilty of strop envy.

Very beautiful strop!

A beautiful strop indeed! Congrats, Sir!

A lovely strop. I have one of those from Torolf and they only get better with time and use.

Looks very good.

Very nice. I am too waiting for mine, should arrive this or next week.

It probably does, but I'm not sure, Torolf just picked it and described it like that.

I used it this morning and it was superb, can't imagine getting better. May time and use prove you right 😁

This will be my first "good" strop, and the difference is abysmal, the blade just slides and sings as it dances during the passes, and the edge... undiscribeble...

I'm glad I did I not but a quality one since the beginning (leather bits allover the place), but I'm sure happy that I did upgrade.

Now I just need a new one for traveling 😂😂😂

Totally agree! Starting with a cheaper strop is nearly mandatory for those of us with slim budgets, but once you have gotten stropping down pat you will never regret a quality strop and Torolf's are some of the very best.

Sweet!

Wow. And I thought I was over strop envy . . . .

Gorgeous!
I love making strops myself, though I've only made a couple. Need to find some good leather, and have at it again.

Gorgeous!

That is so beautiful.

Torolf does excellent work I have a 3" oil tanned in my rotation along with a TM FB and Kanayama.

Very nice. Enjoy!

Wow...that's a beauty!! I'd be afraid to use it....
