Many years ago, I bought a very nice Hand American strop. It's a heavy metal base with rubber feet and has replaceable leather stropping surfaces that are laminated to a flexible magnetic layer to hold them to the base.

When I bought it, I chose a smooth leather and a rough leather stropping surfaces. I can't seem to find the rough one, and the smooth one has a few gouges/cuts in its surface.

I can't seem to find replacements and the company's web page has been "under construction" for quite some time.

Anyone know if they are still available?
 
I use HandAmerican stuff too, when I can get it. I have the 3 x 11 heavy metal base and an old horse butt strop for it. I've gotten my stuff from ChefKnivesToGo.com. They still list magnetic backing strips and different types of leather strops, but I don't think it's called HandAmerican any longer.
