My new strop from the late Neil Miller arrived today, a multi-component magnetic paddle strop 6 surfaces including 3 types of leather soft Latigo med/heavy draw, Cowhide light/med draw, Horsehide med/light draw, hard wool felt, Flax Linen, and finally Balsa, a truly wonderful item to have and to own that will definitely see a lot of use from me, the stropping surface measures 12" x 3".

Ricardo,
this was a little bit of luck as Neil is no longer with us and he certainly didn't make to many of these, lucky for me a guy I know on a UK forum put this one up for sale never used I couldn't say no.

You're very lucky. I recall seeing these on Neil's website and thinking about getting one, but they were rarely available. I should have been more diligent and contacted him about one. Anyway, congratulations on a uniquely beautiful and functional paddle strop.
