Contributing Member Ferg Posted February 22, 2011 Author Contributing Member Report Posted February 22, 2011 Ferg, I just talked to Mr. Louis Henley, at Henley Manu. in La. He said to call him, they do have the beader blades and he is really nice to talk to. Tell him Billy from South Carolina said to call. The #is 1(318)631-3545. I hope this helps Billy P Billy, The person I communicated with said they were three months behind, I just didn't wish to wait that long. Thanks, ferg Quote

They come in different widths. I believe 1/8" is the smallest width and up to at least 1/4". Check some of Bob Park's work. He uses the beader blades. ferg Quote

I cut all my bead borders freehand or I use a push beader. The push beader is probably what you saw. Hope this helps...... Bobby Quote

Members mikesmith648 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 Also if you get in contact with Luke at Sheridan Leather....He has the ones that Kluttz makes....they are good beading tools. Not sure who else makes a beading knife blade but I am she if you got in touch with Luke that he would know. Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!!
