Northmount Report post Posted December 4, 2017 Here are pictures of one I have. 24" x 2.5". Just over 1/8" thick so 8 plus oz (4mm). Note the back of the leather strop is grooved across its width. Reason unknown to me, other than it would be a little more flexible. Leather is relatively hard. The second strap is linen weave. Very slippery like it was Teflon coated. Bought in a 2nd hand/antique store a few years ago for about $25. Had never been used. The linen weave part reminds me of the flat belting used on line shaft driven equipment, except they weren't slippery. Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
