I was reading a bunch of old posts on here and stumbled on your advice about being able to buff out errant tool marks with a regular spoon. Was able to employ that practice yesterday and though it didn't work for all of my mistakes, it did work for some. So, thank you!!

Glad it worked for you! It's not foolproof, because sometimes you can't buff low enough with the spoon to get rid of all the unwanted marks, but it's definitely better than nothing sometimes. The swivel knife itself can raise unwanted lumps in the leather, so I tend to buff the whole surface down even when there's not a particular blemish I'm trying to get rid of. I doubt my customers notice, but I feel it's much cleaner that way.

Nothing in life is foolproof.
I have very limited practice with the swivel knife, but is on my list of must learn. I will remember that buffing when I am done will polish the look. Thank you again!
