Members Kevin Posted January 8, 2011 Members Report Posted January 8, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone has actually seen one of the new Osborne 84 splitters. I've seen pictures in ads for a little while now and I just tried some internet searching, but can't find anything. I don't need one, but I am curious. Kevin Quote
Members tat2 Posted January 17, 2011 Members Report Posted January 17, 2011 Yes I saw it as well. smaller 8 inch Blade looks ok but to be honest I am only sold on the Randall or Krebbs design. The top roller really helps evenly gauge the skive. People have been saying that hte newer 84 works well. I see they have a brass bar to help keep the leather steady which is key of course. Av the 86 though I have one for 1 week then sold it on ebay! I was just wondering if anyone has actually seen one of the new Osborne 84 splitters.

Members awharness Posted February 13, 2011 Members Report Posted February 13, 2011 Are you talking about the one that has the Krebs style lever on the end? "As Seen in Shop talk!" a few months back? I called Beilers and Weavers and neither one have them! I was curious myself! I was just wondering if anyone has actually seen one of the new Osborne 84 splitters.
