I don't mean to trump a master like Mr. Troy, but I have used cermanics for quite some time (short compared to Mr. Troy) but I actually found that you need to work on the C. blades when you buy them. In fact, case in point, we went through a "dry run" on Oak leaves in preparation for an upcoming class through our guild. One of our members had just bought a C. Blade and he had a really hard time cutting through his leather 1/2 back. Today, at our O.F.C. meeting this morning, ScissorMedic showed up and actually worked on the C. Blade for this member and when he went and cut the leather....he went almost all the way through the letter. Now, ScissorMedic says that he cannot actually sharpen the C. Blade, but he works off the grinding marks and gets it polished. I hope this helps. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Badger: I have one, a Tandy model that I do not use anymore. You can have it, just send me your addy and you will get it. Let's say were even, brother! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Wow! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I appreciate all of the comments. I did a notebook a while back for myself and saw an ad at the Orthopedic's office that intrigued me involving a runner's event. Anyways, it included everything that has to do with Austin. The music, bats, runner's and capital. I came out pretty good, I thought. I like to do designs like this that catch my eye. Note: Yes, this is one of my Stolman knifes. I have a 1/4 inch flat blade that I found on eBay for $6 bucks. Thanks to ScissorMedic, it was grinded down and sharpened to a micron, I believe. It is very sharp and works like a charm after being stroped. I have emailed Barry King because I was talking with ScissorMedic (who owns one) and I would like to try one. I also like the SK3 and have emailed Pablo. Since I do this as a hobby, I cannot afford to throw money on everything I like. Maybe I will when some of my stuff gets sells (hahaha). Thanks to all!

I appreciate the comments. I hope it will make the magazine, but it will be up to the editor. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I just completed this logo tonight. I still have to finish it and then I will be sending it in to Ride Texas Magazine. For those of you who ride motorcycles and live in Texas, here is a great magazine that provides a lot of resources. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I appreciate the responses. I have two that were given to me, but I have never ventured to use them. I was just wondering if anyone where uses it. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I choose this. Thanks for the clarification. I posted a picture here. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

The lamp is tight! but the seat is just as cool! Way to go.... Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

Here is a good one for you leatherworkers. Do you use a "sewing awl?" If so, when, or what situations? What is the theory behind this thing they call a "sewing awl?" Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I appreciate the education. I guess the "stitching wheel" kind of does the same thing. I referred to your suppliers and yes they are very expensive, so I guess until I go into business I will stick to my "stitching wheel." Thanks to all those who responded.

The Arts Council here in State told me that they didn't know what I was talking about. He then directed me to a private school for that kind of instruction??? Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember - Stop & Strop ! ~

I get my extra pieces from my Tandy store. I don't buy kits anymore, I just use the pattern that I made and put the thing together with the magnet pieces. I really don't like the clip piece, plus, I never have that much money on me. Hot hands! Good luck! Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~

I am currently making a "market" type bag and I bought from the scrap bin at Tandy some light (thin) chrome tan that look like wood grain (sort of, chestnut color) for my lining. I hope it works. Good luck and report bag any success you have on projects after receiving advice here. Greetings from Round Rock, Texas ~ Remember: Stop & Strop! ~
