Now _This_ is a nice strop for a great price! [SEP] I've owned a Fromm Illinois strop for awhile, and been pretty happy dor it's mid-$30 value. But when it was time  to upgrade (due to some 'enhancements' my son gifted me with when playing with the Fromm), I decided to give this strop a try: I'll tell you what, it's a damn fine value! It cost roughly 2x what a base Fromm does, but it's also twice the quality in terms of  leather, and hardware. No it's not a $150 strop's quality. But it's also only half the price. I'm one happy customer! :D
