I've used both, the Chinese stuff works great but is more like .6 or .7, and the tiger thread is a little better but not by very much. You can't complain about the price but the Chinese thread took 10 weeks to arrive! Because of that I'm using tiger thread.

Nice Job, Haven't tried the tri weave yet, what's the secret to keeping it straight?

Wow great looking belt!

Great looking holsters! Nice lacing job as well, what kind of lace are you using?

Bikermutt, if you are still thinking of purchasing a set, I found they are a little smaller than the same number in the Tandy ones. They said they haven't had any complaints yet and they are replacing the ones I have had problems with. They do cut a beautiful edge when they work!

Read below Read below Just for your information, I received a reply from Nigel Armitage and he said his students have been using the edgers for a while now and haven't had any problems. He said he hasn't even had to strop his set yet. Obviously we received some defective ones. If you haven't contacted Mr Watt yet do so, I'm sure you will get help.

Unfortunately I have only purchased the Quick Change edger so I can't comment on anything else though I have been told by many his tools are very high quality. I think they are sending me some new blades, and so far my e-mail to Nigel Armitage has gone unanswered. I have been using 10 oz leather, edging it while dry, so I don't think the weight of leather is the issue. I think some of us received badly tempered blades.

Nice job, your stitching looks great, back stitching is always a problem, I can't get mine to look real good no matter how many videos I watch.

Nice job especially nice stitching. I'd stamp just the inside, but if I got a new stamp I would probably go a little crazy with it to.

Just wondering if anyone else is telling Jerimiah Watt they are having this problem? Unless we let them know they may not know there is a problem. I have contacted them and am waiting for a second reply, holidays and all I am sure I will get another e-mail next week. I'm also going to send Nigel Armitage a note and ask him if he is actually using the tool, and if so has he had any problems with it holding an edge. On another note I'm wondering how everyone edges their projects wet or dry? I have always done it dry, found my Tandy tool cuts better when the leather is dry. Let me know.

I just got mine a week or so ago. I was hoping that I had received a bad tool as well, but seems there are a few others? I am working with them and hope that maybe a few of us got some poorly tempered ones. I think Watt tools have a very good reputation for putting out great quality tools, and they have been very quick to address my problem. I'm not knocking their tool, just wondering if any other folks had the same problem I had.

I don't think this reflects on Watt's tools in general, but there are three of us so far that have found the quick change edgers don't hold an edge. My Tandy edger cuts a crappy edge, but at least it stays sharp.

Hey Thanks JLS, I was wondering, and actually a little afraid to say something about one of the premier tool producers. I sent them a note, will wait for a reply, and let you know what they say. Have a great day!

Anyone else using the Jerimiah Watt quick change edging tools? I just got a set which were recommended by Nigel Armitage, and was really happy with the first couple cuts. That said I found mine dulled very quickly, less than four feet of edging, and I can't seem to get an edge on them now. Really disappointed, hoping it's just my blade, and wondering if anyone can help me out with a suggestion for sharpening. I'm thinking I may just have got a bad blade with a poor temper? Has anyone else used them, and what is your opinion? Thanks.

Nice job very clean looking. How many stitches per inch?

Nice job, I made one of these a while back, had sore fingers for a couple days after, lots of stitching.

Wow looks awesome great job!

Nice job so far, can't wait to see the finished product.

Nice job, your stitching is great. I like the texture of goatskin, looks great!

Looks good I know she will appreciate it!

Chief, great job, really like those rifle slings. and the bible cover!

Really Nice! your stitching is very nice and clean!

Can't see the sheath in the picture, the knife looks great!

Looks real good, very clean but hard to see because of the size?
