Gezzer Report post Posted October 26, 2022 @Pappys Leather Got to thinking and I probably was not very clear on what I was trying to convey about the bevel on the blade . This will either be clearer or totally muddy the water , I am not known for my communication skills ! same leather and cased the same amount of time .... cut marked R was a single edge razor other marked S K is from swivel knife . I tried my best to cut with same pressure , used the same beveller again doing my best to keep every thing equal . My thinking is that the width of the "furrow " has more to do with how deep it looks than actual depth of cut ( or we would all be using scalpels ) . Cross section of blade I think makes a difference . This may all be so much hot air on my part , but I do want you to get it figured out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If not I think you may be ready for a new one or at the very least a trip to the stones ..... but I may be totally wrong . Here in your pic it doesn't look like you have much bevel left , I enlarged about 300% Here is a normal picture of mine , but again they would be different if yours is hollow ground . Yes the one pictured is hollow ground. My straight blade like yours is what I started out with but it's cuts were worst Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
