SCOUTER Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 (edited) Sorry for the title scare but the fact that you are here shows that you are ready and willing to help someone and in my book you deserve a reward... Well, here it is- The other day while ordering some tools from Harbor Freight, I found this puppy. http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/disp...temnumber=96259 It is listed as a Carpet Triming knife and the Stock # is ITEM 96259-0VGA But we know this as a head knife. (Carbon Steel to boot!) Now I ordered one and I have to say that for $9 you can't go wrong. I will post this again in a couple of days but I just want to thankyou for taking the time to help... The knife is not Osborne quality but sometimes you are rough cutting and don't want to dull your good knife... Edited March 12, 2008 by SCOUTER Quote
ArtS Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 It looks as if it would work as a head knife. I don't know how good the quality is though.

Moderator bruce johnson Posted March 12, 2008 Moderator Report Posted March 12, 2008 Looks like a weapon that some of the old-line makers call a trimming knife. There is also a similar knife I saw somewhere called an Encher-something pattern. Looks pretty cool, and it should work pretty well. It might have a real name in Salaman's book on leather tools.

I think that Dixon made a knife similar to this and it was called a Bridle Cutter's knife. I have a catalogue somewhere and I'll have a look after. Quote
Moderator Art Posted March 12, 2008 Moderator Report Posted March 12, 2008 Don Carlos also makes one in that pattern.

Ambassador Don101 Posted March 12, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted March 12, 2008 Sure looks ok and the price is low, there are lots of these low price knifes on the german ebay but im not sure of the steel quality keep us informed how it turnes out, Don Quote
ArtS Posted March 12, 2008 Report Posted March 12, 2008 I couldn't resist. I ordered one too. We'll see how it does. Worst comes to worst I can use it for cutting floor tiles.

Contributing Member barra Posted March 12, 2008 Contributing Member Report Posted March 12, 2008 This is the Dixon bridle cutter knife. Your knife looks cool Scouter and for the price you can't go wrong. Quote "If You're not behind the Troops, please feel free to stand in front of them"
