Very late to this conversation, but I have the Neubert "evener" and don't need it - want to sell it. Used maybe once, couldn't get the hang of it, and went to using my antique expensive splitter instead. Neubert doesn't make the evener anymore - will sell it for $175 (paid $200 for it).

Want to post pictures but can't figure out how... PM me for pics if you're interested, or maybe someone could tell me how to post the pictures?

in one of grants books there is a picture of a guy using a woodworking planer to split his rawhide....i always wondered how well that would work. they can be pricey but on the other hand they are highly adjustable and there are a variety of sizes. i currently use a homemade splitter from plans someone had posted on this board a couple of years ago.

In the Bruce Grant book, would that be Mary Fields who is shown making the reata? If so, she was my rawhide teacher and I have a splitter like the one shown that she is using. If interested, I can try to make up a set of plans and post them here.

I would be interested in some plans for a splitter using a woodworking plane. I have some old ones in my shed and if I could make them useful again, that would be great. Thanks!

I have the Hansen and I too love the cutting side of it but wish I could get more consistency with the splitter. wish there was more surface area. I tell ya if you live in high humidity or keep your cutter outside, make sure you keep it lightly oiled.
