    Thanks Willem the resons I dont like stanless is the cryo process and the long soak times Im not sure how cost effective it is when you have to run your oven for 3 minits and then again for 2 hours to draw it out. If I was making it for a customer I could pass that cost along to them but for myself I think 01, 1095 or D2 will work just fine it’s easy to work with and inexpensive.

    I suppose for the same reason we carve our own leather.

    Great post I was looking at buying a new one this may work just as good and I can get enough material for several I just ordered 1 foot of each type will see witch one works best. Now if I could get a tool that applied the correct amount of force and automatically kept the spacing correct. Thanks guys Doug

    Thanks TwinOaks I new I read something about carbon steels and taned leather but was not sure what is was, I use some stainles steel in knife making but I like the petina you get from plain old high carbon steel and I think you get a better edge from it. Thanks Doug

    I’m also interested in what metal works for leather cutting tools ( head/round knives) I make custom knives mostly with high carbon tool steel 1095 01 or d2. I had read somewhere that some steels can darken the leather. Any recommendations would be helpful. I have all the tools to grind mill and harden most tool steel so for me it would be economical to make my own. Thanks Doug

    Take a look at the angle of the grind on both tools it could be the Weaver doesn’t have the correct taper also check the inside to make sure it was de-burred, also check to see if you removed all the plastic goop they put on it before it ships.

    BevJones I thought about doing that but was conserned that if it buckeled water could get in. I just slip the picture in and keep it closed with a smal concho. I thought about using velcrow but that makes it bulky. Thanks for looking
