So I made a few strops, all came out decent. And the price was significantly lower than buying a strop, but the catch was buying the hardware in bulk and using a 40% off one item coupon at my local fabric/hobby store. I used the coupon 5 days in a row to get everything..One item at a time.
I did buy one piece of replacement leather ( English Bridal ) from a vendor..
Cost starting from left..
Cotton Canvas and Poly webbing 2 piece: $8.50
Leather, Vegetable tanned w/neatsfoot oil to soften.. $14
English Bridal..: $26
Cotton Canvas with chrome oxide $5
They all work well and for $55 bucks I've got everything I need
So don't be afraid to make your own!!
And a buddy of mine made me a strop and I used the patterns to make the other 4..
