moon knife techniques

[thecapgunkid]

Anybody know where I can go to learn some moon knife techniques? I was trained with clicking knives by Cordwainer Walter Billy exclusively and have had to teach myself. I don't use it often enough, so I alternate between the point running into the cutting board and the rounded edge skipping over a hard spot along the cut.

Thanks, and,

Don't shoot yore eye out, kid

youtube.com has several videos, I did a search of leather round knife. You might also use head knife.

Tandy's has some books, "Leathercraft tools" by Al Stohlman is a great one.
