3" Artisan Latigo "New Standard" Strop
Not Currently Scheduled
My Latigo strops are not currently scheduled. It would be at least mid June before I will be back in the shop cutting leather again.
My Artisan™ models are my best strops and these are made from my 7oz to 8oz firm temper Heirloom™ Red Latigo Steerhide with either Smooth Cotton or Smooth Black Nylon (Standard), Hard Wool Felt (+10.00), Genuine Linen (+ $16.00) or Smooth Butt Horsehide (not available +$49.00) second components.
These have contrasting Black Latigo end caps and two simple Dee Ring Grips as standard or a pair of optional Contoured Black Latigo Leather Handles (+ $10.00). 29" overall with a superwide 3" x 17 1/2" stropping surface. Wide strops like these have become the "new standard" over the narrower, more traditional designs as no X-pattern is needed when stropping. Full stropping instructions are included.
The Latigo offers a well rounded stropping surface as one's only strop and has a bit more draw (friction) than horsehide which is nicely suited for finishing or as a second strop.
An inexpensive, "second quality" 2 1/2" x 19" Practice Strop with a thong/bead hanger is available as an $8.00 option with this model.
These will not be in production again till at least mid-June, possibly longer.
