Top photo is of an Osborne six inch round knife. I bought this when I was in the Navy Circa 1954. Number embossed in blade doesn't come up on Google. It has been ground professionally and cuts leather like butter. There is a slightly flat spot at the top of arch. I do not remember why that is there. $50 plus shipping Round knife at bottom of photo was custom made for me by Terry Knipshield. Three and a quarter inches tip to tip. This is a top of the line blade. I used it to skive leather and cut intricate pieces of leather. Blade is scary sharp. $200 -=SOLD=- plus shipping. I will not take less for this blade PayPal or Postal Money order

Buying A 227R What I Have To Check The Most?
Ferg replied to BodegaBrasil's topic in Leather Sewing Machines
Bob and Bobbie are not only great at their business, they are great individuals and will give you a good deal. As Wiz said, they have rooms full of everything -
I have eight more hides of this LAMBSKIN leather varying in size from about 6 sq ft to 7.5 sq ft. All same color and thickness. Anyone wish to have more than the three or if you wish to buy only two, I will give you a good deal. Just let me know.

Heads Up:I am going to sell most all my leather "stuff"
Ferg replied to Ferg's topic in Hand Tools-Leatherworking Tools
Kangaroo leather will last forever I think. I have made many small items from it as well as wallet insides. -
Spent five days in hospital up to almost Christmas. Too many things going on to elaborate at this time. I desperately need to get rid of lots of leather tools etc, I have including hides. Going to hang onto my electric sewing machines. I have quite a few Kangaroo hides of different colors. Will try to list them as I can get them suitable for photos. It has been a long journey for me since 1953. It has come time to make it possible for someone else to enjoy what I have been blessed to obtain. Will try to make the items attractive in price without giving away the house. Ferg

You should be able to play with your settings to minimize the charring. I keep a box of what would be throwaways for trial and error work. lol

Chuck, Advantage I see? I keep the laser file, engrave to leather anytime I wish. The engraving should take about 30 to 60 seconds. The drawing is precisely the same every time.

You can get a trial version of LightBurn and you won't have to do all this fiddling you guys are doing. Yes it has a learning curve. I find anything worth doing is doing it with the right program or tools. Personally, I hate InkScape.

Neila, You are a true artist, in leather and artwork. Ferg

Oh MY! Good thing I wasn't there. My wife would have made me take it all back. I have had and still do have some interesting vintage items. I even like to feel them once in a while. lol
