It is a streched version of the landis 30, first ones have yet to hit the wharehouse. Should be in (fingers crossed) in late April early May. Best to talk to Stevehe can give you the full scoop.

Not shure how I missed this one, Bruce And Brent If you are looking for larger splitter talk to Steve ( cobra) I have my name on one when he gets his order in. Pretty sweet deal on them, and we know how Steve is to deal with. Bruce I had one of artisans ordered finally told them where they could put it. Al

Good day all looking for the good and bad, on campbell's keystone 8' splitter/skiver. Thanks Al

I keep my oil in a small crock pot, turn on low first thing, on the days I am doing all my finishing.

try warming your oil, it breaks down the fat deposits in the oil. penatrates the leather more evenly, uses less oil. This was done for Jan. challange on here, I gave it a light coat of NF oil after. Extra,extra virgin and it would have been super light. Al

Excellent choice.

Welcome to the site. You are not to far from me, I am in Lamont Al

Thank you. Figyred thats what you were aftre so thats why I posted it before oiling.

OKAY, here goes tools used makers mark & swivel knife. Border cut with finger as guide, beveled with yoke. Pebeling effect came from stripping knife down & rolling the barrel. Edges where also done with the yoke. And now we can put some oil on it. Al

Can They be oiled before submitting or is that a tool? Al

I like to use linoleum, punches just like leather easy to draw all pertinent info on, last for ever.

I like Bobby preffer a coarser knurling & I also preffer a little more weight so all my knive are 5/8 x 2" barrels from Henly. Blades I use for most of my cutting is a 3/8 or 1/2 hollow ground thin. I do 99 % of my cuts with the 3/8 thin. The only time I use a 1/4 angled blade is for small letters, you will find a straight blade will give you more controll, all you need is to practice and you will be able to cut most anything you want.

Didn't realize he had splitters. Thanks, I will get in touch with him.

Looking to purchase a 12 to 16 inch crank splitter. PM all replies with pics & price would need to be shipped to Canada. Al

I have had the pleasure of trying all the makers listed. My personal choice are the henly"s with a 5/8 long barrel. He also has the best beader blades going in my opinon. Al

Congrats Bob! Have admirred your work for sometime, I can not think of anyone more deserving. Al

They are not worth the money. Blades a junk, to much slop in the frame. Best advice save money by from somebody that is not pinching the penny so hard.

screws that lock down tandies belt tips in the buckle sets work great.

I too can vouch for Elton's tools. Elton I will send you another order in the new year. Mules feet, wigglers,and some flower centers.If you can email me a impression sheet I may order more. Al

Rob Aaron Martin harness. they are in ontario. Al

Bogle-Greenwell Machinery had a 16" randal. Talk to Ray, price was was great when he quoted me on it.

Pm sent, you can add me also. thanks

Okay this machine has been out for a good while now. Anyone that got one & liked it in the start, changed their minds or are they proving to be worth the investment. Or is a person better off going with a band knife? Al

Gorgeous look hardware! Won't be at the show but would be interested in prices. You can pm me when you get a chance. Thanks Al
