Members BondoBobCustomSaddles Posted March 13, 2009 Members Report Posted March 13, 2009 Well once again, I find that I need to get into the fray. I use what works for me! Most generally it is a round knife, an antique on at that. One of the things I like about a round knife is that you can not only slice to make a cut, but; you can also "roll" and make the cut. Given that you are making a lot of cuts, 6-8 per inch for some 60-80 inches 6" to 8"long, it is nice and easier on your hands to be able to change the action on your wrist and fingers once in a while! As for rotary cutters, I use them too, but; they do not hold an edge for long periods of time when doing this kind of cutting, and don't sharpen very well. All in all, a good round knife, kept SHARP gets the job done. Since I like my fringe to be a continuation of the actual chap leg, I don't buy commercial fringe and stitch it on, even if it is the right color and length. That's where the "all made the old fashioned way" phrase come in on my logo. Oh, by the way, they have to pay for it too! Happy Trails, Bondo Bob Quote
