JohnD Posted March 27, 2008 Author Report Posted March 27, 2008 Yes, I have. I got them I think Monday. I ordered smooth bevelers 0-4 and round #3 and concave #3.( just to try them) Right off the bat you can see the difference in them from the Craftool bevelers, The angle is much steeper, which I had to get used to as I used to tilt the Craftool to bevel at a steeper angle. They make a nice deep bevel, which I felt I could never achieve with the craftools.(Which may have had alot to do with my casing inconsistancies) They're also flatter with more rounded sides, so they "walk" alot easier and leave a much smoother bevel. With the steeper angle they don't make such a wide bevel either (unless you tilt them to make it wider) which I think looks alot nicer. All in all, I really like them a lot. They were definitly worth the money and the wait. I'm very happy with them so far. Thanks for asking Duke. John P.S. I had mentioned in another post that I thought they might be less expensive ordering direct from Barry, but I was wrong. they were the same price as from Montana leather. ($20 ea.) The shipping was much cheaper from Barry though, about half as much as Montana.
