Horse hide strop.

Well, it was looking around for a new horse hide strop and like most thing, I wondered if I could make one myself.
Well I did just that and it turn out pretty good. Nothing fancy, no bells and whistles... Just a straight forward strop made with my preferred leather for stropping, horse. 2.5" wide and about 16-17"'s of stropping area.
The good thing is I have a good bit left over, so if you want to try a horse hide strop and do it for about half the regular cost check the for sale section.

Custom 6/8, worked spine in Horn

Custom 6/8 french point monkey tail.
Shoulderless grind with file work and hash-mark jimps
Horn scales with cocobolo wedge


Custom for a Lady.

This is the first custom, I've done with the end user being a lady (although, I do believe her husband and getting some good use out it..lol)
Here she is,
The blade is a 4/8 roundpoint , shoulderless grind with a little file work.
The cutting edge is just under 2"
Scales are black G10, pink acrylic wedge with silver pins and small SS washers.
