Show Me Your Lip Knives!

Recommended Posts

Once again, I need some help to dilute my ignorance. The boot makers have specialty tools too, and I would like to try making some. I had a chance to see a few at the Boots and Saddles trade show, but many were really worn down. I saw enough to see that there are many ways these are made...some with the bevel on the bottom and some with the bevel on the top. (Both of those versions had the lip pointed away from the upper....)

Some were curved, some were straight...some were wide, and some were thin (I suspect from sharpening). In any case, pics would be welcome, hopefully with a few showing how the knife is held against the work and actually used.

I'd really like to see if I could make a good one...any help or advice would be appreciated!

Terry
