Another note on the Tandy. I have owned 2 that came from lot buys. One I gave away, the other is still sitting all lonely in it's package.
Also, a little perspective. I'm just a part time hobbyist. I am not making any income from my pieces. I still say a Knipschield is a worthwhile investment. Sometimes things pay for themselves in convienance. It is nice to push that razor sharp item right thru anything I want to cut.
Here is a piece of 7-8 ounce molded over on itself. The knife rolled right thru it.
