    Have a word with Dave Budd, I'm sure cuffs, collars, and paddles will come up at some point in the conversation.
    Or strops

    Never thought of that...

    Not absolutely sure about your ideas though, Tadpole



    Some good ideas here.

    The stacked leather handle is a good idea, that leather would be ideal for that. A good strop too.

    Darn, now I won't have enough leather for all these ideas!! Thanks...

    What about strops Joel, a bit mundane I suppose but they could be nicely finished.

    Key fobs / badges ?
