Shell Cordovan Leather Strop sobre en blanco anodizado 6 "x 1"

Genuine Shell Cordovan is one of the most sought-after and expensive leathers in the world. More than just a color, it is a very specific leather, from a particular part of a horsehide. While the Horween Leather Company in Chicago is one of the most well-known producers of Shell Cordovan, there are tanneries in Italy (and elsewhere) that produce this prestigious leather. Italian tanneries have a long-standing tradition of producing high-quality leathers, and they have their own methods and traditions when it comes to tanning Shell Cordovan.

Shell Cordovan Leather Strop is mounted on high-quality aluminum with 45-degree bevels (Edge Pro form-factor) and color anodizing: graphite gray, black, deep ruby red, ocean blue, emerald green, sepia orange. Different colors of blanks will help to avoid mistakes of using the wrong grit. The thickness of the leather is approximately 1mm, and the thickness of the aluminum blank is 5mm.

Working with Shell Cordovan is similar to working with other leather with one exception. You will not be able to fully remove the compound after applying it to the strop. If you want to change the compound, consider buying an extra strop.

Due to its tight grain and the specific tanning process it undergoes, Shell Cordovan is more water-resistant than many other leathers. This doesn't mean it's waterproof, but you can clean Shell Cordovan more easily than some other leathers.
