Stroppy Strop

[Skystorm]

All my strops walked off again so this time I made a super big gulp size. Now I just need to make another field one. I like using oak, it makes for a very effective thumpin stick as well

 

[DJG097]

DAMN!!!!! Thats one hell of a strop.

 

[JustAFleshWound]

Holy Mother of STROP! That is huge!

 

[Chameleonbear]

Hey there old buddy old friend...

 

[oXide]

You stropping full sized machetes and swords on that beast?

 

[yoko]

How much for one half the length!

 

[Eero]

That would be a very painful thump. Followed by a glimpse of some glittery compound as you fall to the ground....:thumbup:

 

[axesbold]

Really nice.... you can strop both your machaxes at the same time.... as fast as those guys at the Japanese steak house....

 

[tincansurvival]

Big strop...big knife! I like it.

 

[timberweasel]

It's a cricket bat!

 

[dustyzz]

Me likey!!! I WANT one!

 

[nickturbo]

wow....looks great!!!!!

 

[CamH_16]

Man, I could use something like that ...

 

[cbwoods67]

So are you going to load it up or just strop on naked leather?
Pretty cool set up, but I think it needs a skull stamp.

I've never used a strop this large.. perhaps it is time to put in another order for dead cow hide.

 

[rkmoore]

I think it needs a BK-6 patrol machete!

 

[JWL]

Very nice!

What kind of leather do you recommend for a strop? I haven't had much luck with what's available in the local fabric store.... **rolls eyes**

 

[Skystorm]

Ran out of green compound but loaded one side up with white. Just for fun I knocked the factory edge of the Candiru with diamond stones then stropped it for a bit. Now it shaves hair. With the RBK and BK-6, now I don't have to make several passes to get the whole blade. Getting old and lazy I guess. This one is 2-1/4" X 20 for the strop area

No skull stamps that takes up valuable stropping space, I might run out of room.

As far as leather, I only use the best and I order mine straight from the tannery, I get #1 quality hides with sanded backs. The stuff you get from tandy and what not is.... ok at best. The backs are usually too fleshy and/or raggedy to make any decent strops out of.

I suppose if there was interest I could make a BH group buy run of Stropasaurus'. Might even be persuaded to stamp your BH# on it.

I just had a flashback involving me, my best friend Salvatore and Sister Francis...I thought I blocked it out but after seeing the size of that paddle..I mean strop, it all came back after 35 years Oh yeah..very nice strop lol !

 

[azwelke]

I love the huge strop,:thumbup:

I need one, and started laughing at the thought of burning up a whole stick of geen compound on one

 

[daizee]

dude, your arms must be REALLY long.
Do you clamp it down? hang it on a wall?
"Strop up. Strop down."
