...now have rawhide stripes for sale (at least in the catalogue, don't know if they are already listed on their homepage).

material: cow

width: ca. 5 cm

strength: 1-2 mm (dry condition of course)

length: 1,2 - 1,6 m

THE PRICE: 6 € per meter - which is ok IMHO

Greets,
Florian

Sure, but from a large 'rawhide bone' I get about 4-5 strips of 80-90 cm each, for the price of € 7,50..
Of course, I cut the strips myself, and those are much more neat that mine! Big Grin
