  1. Thanks Ed!! Your knife is shipping out today!! Can't wait to hear how much you like it!!
  2. Wow...I didn't think offering a discount would offend anyone, especially if it was geared around a holiday such as Fathers Day. I buy a lot of items when the go on sale and have bought many things just before it goes on sale or just after and I always thought it was just how things work. I honestly didn't put the sale up just to make people "miffed". In an economy that we are in I thought it would be a nice gesture to maybe save folks a few bucks to get a gift for a loved ones, nothing more. I feel as though a sale is just that, a sale. My cost of building the product has not gone down believe me, so I am just taking a cut off of my margin to pass on a great product. I have inventory that does no good to anyone just sitting so why not? Just my two cents worth.

  6. Hello there, I am Tim Judd from Tanglefoot Traders, Inc. in Las Vegas, NV. I am the creator of the "TangleBoss" swivel knife and I am here for you if you have any questions concerning it. To clarify a few things about the knife, on the very first batch of 50 that went out I didn't send out allen wrenches with them by mistake, I had them but forgot to include them in the packaging. All knives now come with the corresponding allen wrench to make all necessary adjustments and blade changes. If you received one of the first batch just let me know and I will send you an allen wrench out as soon as possible. As far as the blades go, I have never claimed to be a blade maker therefor I felt it best to leave the blades to the guys that are, not to say that I wont make a blade in the future because I am working on several as we speak. They will be made of O-1 tool steel heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 58 and polished to a high sheen but as of now they are not yet available from Tanglefoot Traders. I figured that since I did not have blades I would make the knife to fit the most common blades in the industry. I built them to take the standard craft tool shank size which includes Tandy, Robert Baird, Chuck Smith, Barry King (small shank) and Hensley to name a few. Just a little bit about the creation of the TangleBoss, as we all have heard "necessity is the mother of all invention" one night I was carving a pretty large Sheridan style pattern and kept getting cramps in my hand so I started thinking there had to be a better way to do this, so I started looking at my swivel knife collection trying to understand the basis of its design, and it dawned on me that a swiveling blade might be the answer. I never thought in my wildest dreams that that moment was the turning point for the creation of my new knife. I sketched out a drawing and started looking into building a prototype design. The first one was sketchy at best and I realized that changes needed to be made. The second one was much closer to the correct setup but even it needed some modification. The third try was the kicker, it worked exactly as I had seen it in my minds eye but it was made to only fit my large hand. I took that design to the Gathering of the Masters class in Elko, NV and showed the design to the teachers there and was surprised at the reaction that I received from them. Everyone that tried it said the same thing...."Your onto something that has merit" and "this thing does things my normal swivel knife just cant do!" but that the yoke must be modified to allow for adjustment. I went back to the drawing board and figured out a way to make the yoke adjustable and decided to produce a run of 50 of that design. I slipped a picture of the 50 knives onto my own facebook group called The Remuda trying to just quietly let a few folks know whats coming and BAM my phone started ringing off the hook and I sold the first 50 in 3 days. I have had many reviews of the knife since its launch and to this day have not had any negative feedback as to how it works, but only people wishing they would have known that multiple colors were coming on the second and third batches. I don't think that the TangleBoss will ever replace our existing swivel knives but will be another tool for your tool rack that will come into play more and more as you realize how easy and time saving it really is. I stand behind them 100% and if anyone is unhappy with their purchase I will gladly refund their money as well as shipping to return it to me. I hope my story didn't bore you too much and I hope that I may have answered any questions you may have had. They knives are available and in stock and can be had by going to www.tanglefoottraders.com and following the TangleBoss links. Thanks for the interest! Tim
