Members 10x Posted May 5, 2009 Members Report Posted May 5, 2009 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. Quote Michael Gibeault 10X Leather Co. Highpower Rifle Slings 253-375-7162
Members Rayban Posted May 5, 2009 Members Report Posted May 5, 2009 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.... Quote Raybanwww.rgleather.net
Moderator bruce johnson Posted May 5, 2009 Moderator Report Posted May 5, 2009 The only modern one I have is from Bob Dozier. Best knife I have hands down.

Frank Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 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. Quote Never argue with a stupid person.

hidepounder Posted May 5, 2009 Report Posted May 5, 2009 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. Quote

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.

Members Freedom Posted May 15, 2009 Members Report Posted May 15, 2009 (edited) 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.
