Thought I'd put up a couple of my round knives here in the "Show Off" category. I've been using them as a Maker for over 30-years, and became obsessed with making them myself a few years ago. I made my first one about 18-months ago with influence from everybody from CS Osborne to Danny Marlin, and...

Hello All, I'd made an impulse purchase years ago on an Al Stohlman round knife from Tandy. Having never used one, I managed the learning curve fairly well, but the constant stropping eventually made me put it down for a long rest. I read somewhere that the blades aren't very good metal,...

A couple years ago I bought an Al Stohlman Tandy round knife. It wasn't even close to the condition he describes in his 'Use and Care of Hand Tools' - type book, and I only made it much worse trying to sharpen it by hand. So I built a "Thing". I work in the aerospace industry for a living, so I had...

Getting rid of my old junk alongside some new tools to make space in the workshop. I can ship internationally and also give away free samples of waxed linen thread with the tools (as an incentive to help me clear out!) I’m going to sell the pieces individually but would be able to offer a good...

Not a leather piece per se... but still, leather-related Lately, in addition to leather work, I've been interested in metal - knife making and such. I have been wanting to buy myself a good round head knife, but was put off by prices - they go for anything from $40-$100. So, I decided to take...

I'm making high quality knives and leather cutting knives (round knives and head-knives) such as below pictures. Blades are from 3 mm 1.4116 steel and their hardness came out 58.5 HRC. Handles are from walnut and they are inlaid with mother of pearl and brass wire figures, bolsters are brass too. I...

Hi I just found out I owe the IRS a ton of money and I am looking around my shop for stuff to sell. I never use this knife the blade is 6 inches and it is way too big for me. I can't read the name on it, I know it is old I got it as part of a craigslist purchase years ago from someone selling her...

My collection is now complete (as far as I'm concerned for now). I started with the French style head knife over a year ago. Then a forum member sold me the long knife. Now I finally have the curved detail knife. Man what a cutter. Terry Knipschield, if you didn't know, is a custom knife maker....

An old Rose head knife I picked up for next to nothing. You can see why from the first picture, she was a little rough. That being said I'm a firm believer that if it's beyond repair you may as well try and repair it because it can't get any broker! I know that's not proper but broken won't work and...

Hello everyone. Long time lurker and first time posting. I had wanted to by a head knife and sort of jumped the gun on this one on eBay. The writting on the blade does not look like any other CS Osborne that I have seen. I'm thinking maybe a fake. Any input will be greatly ap...

I have made a couple of sharpening jigs for round knifes before. This is version 3 and so far it works out great. It is not pretty as it was build with very limited tools. For a bit more information go here: http://andersenleather.blogspot.com/2016/08/ro...

For all the tool experts here: I often look around at round knives on eBay and elsewhere on the big bad internet, and often see round knives by CS Osborne, and occasionally other makers marked with an X, XX, or XXX. Does anybody have a clue what, if anything, those marks mean?? Bill

Can anyone identify the maker of this round knife that I bought at the Proleptic sale last year? I love the shape and edge on it, so am curious to know its provenance.

We get a lot of interest on leatherworker.net about the subjects of knifemaking and sharpening. This applies to pretty much all leather edged tools. This forum is here to collect all of this information for use by those who want to know sharp from dull, and from screaming (or bleeding) sharp to ju...

Hello All, Please help save my Round knife. On the advice a neighbour I sent my Round Knife to have the brass ferule fixed. Please view the image of the result - they have ruined the knife. It is my favourite tool and have been using it for the last 20 years. Is it worth saving or repairing and if...

Just started cleaning this one up. Got the layer of rust removed and found the name Francis & Ward on the knife. Only information I can find is a little bit on Bruce Johnsons tool site. As you can see she's been used and sharpened quite a bit. Looking for any information on the maker. As always...

Hi there, So I just received this head knife and it has obviously seen some years and could use a little restoration. I was kind of surprised that the knife still had a reasonable edge and it should turn great with a bit of sharpening. I also want to clean and polish the blade to bring the sh...

From the album: A Newbies Progress
A simple tool carousel that holds all the tools i want close at hand when leatherworking. Its made from a recycled adjustable wooden stool with a rotating seat. The legs were chopped off, then holes cut for the tools. It was bolted in the corner between two perpendicular benches, to allow the spi...© ©2014 Barkingrooster.co.uk
