I am looking to purchase a new head/round knife. I want something different than the standard Osborne/Shuleman(sp) ones. So lets see those customs out there and also state who made them. Thanks.

I have Wayne Jueschke's brochure, he makes nice ones, $225....which is why I only have the brochure....

I had this one gifted to me, maker unknown, no stamp, etc....but I got a nice edge on it and performs very well, so look around....

The only modern one I have is from Bob Dozier. Best knife I have hands down.

I was given the option of picking my own Christmas present last year. I chose a head knife from Jeff Cook at J Cook Blades . I love the knife and they are extremely sharp. I believe the price was $250.00. I was torn as to order a Dozier knife or J Cook.

Never argue with a stupid person. They'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience!!

We've covered this before and this thread is good reading.

Here is the line-up currently on my bench. Left to right they are:

1.) J. Cook. I love the handle on this knife....designed by Chan Geer, but I hardly use it anymore and my sell it.....don't know.

2.) W. Rose. Probably my favorite knife. It doesn't doesn't touch a cutting board or dry leather.

3.) Gomph. I use this knife more than any of the others....I use it for general cutting and skiving.

4.) Bill Buchman. I really like this knife also and use it exclusively for cutting out of the hide.

5.) Gomph. I use this for just for skiving large laps, like on breast collars, etc.

I also have a Jerimiah Watt which I don't use anymore and will probably sell. I would like to have a Dosier, Bruce has raved about his. I'd also like to have a little Buchman like Arts, that was made for Verlane.

I've some Jerimiah Watt edgers that I really like.

I've been thinking about one of Jerimiah's head knife's. How do you like your's? Right now I'm using one of Weaver Leather's head knifes and I have a new Osbourne head knife.

Thanks, Randy

here is mine that I made from a thin table saw blade( this is before I polished it). It works great!

I also have an Al Stohlman...these are now made in China and I broke mine Skiving with it right after taking it from the box. Luckily Texas Leathercraft stood behind it and sent me a new one.....The AS is a very thin blade so it cuts through heavy leather real well but you can't skive with it.
