The reason I didn't post that gtwister is because it's a bit out of date.

The Swivel knife with a blade price is now $89 & change. I don't remember off the top of my head what the rest of the new prices are, but they are higher.

Fair enough but it shows people what options they carry for the barrels and blades.

gtwister,

How do you like those Henley's? Is it worth the 90 bucks for a knife & blade? What size barrel & blade do you have?

Thanks,

Marlon

Marlon,

I like them a lot. In fact Bob Dellis first turned me on to their blades. Bob liked wide straight blades. I have never liked them much myself but he also told me that they were some of the best steel that he had ever carved with so I talked with them and found out that they had 1/4" and 3/8" blades. Well the rest was history. I have tried Bob Beard's and Chuck Smith's as well. I have lent my Bob Beard knife and blade out to a person that is just starting.

As far as barrels.....both barrels are 3/8" fine knurl 1.5" long. The blades that I purchased with them were a 1/4" angle fine detail thin (5/64" thick) and a 3/8" straight thin blade. I also bought a 1/16" beader blade. I pulled the 1/4" angle fine detail thin and started using the Peter Mina modified Henley for thinner material. I liked the Peter Main one better (it seemed to open the cut of the lighter leather up more).

If you PM me offline I can put you in contact with someone that usually buys a large lot and get's a discount each year. That is how I bought mine (quite a bit of savings that way).

Regards,

Ben

Well, not really, it's 50% off one item, but retail price. So if it's on sale for 80, and retail is 130, It will still cost 65. Still not bad, but not as good as 40.

Don't tell the girl that rang me up last time at the local TLF that..........cause she obviously didn't know about that rule!!

Thanks for all the replies;

That 50% off on any one item at Tandy was too good to resist. I bought the Al Stohlman Brand leather handled swivel knife with blade for $65.00 and tax.

Thanks,

Paul
