Wayward Shrimp Report post Posted February 27, 2011 I do a lot of celtic/viking style knots and nothing annoys me more than slipping on the last bit of two parallel lines. Is the spacing on a double edged swivel blade a possible option to help? The trick is the long stretches... I've not seen many samples of the results or how wide the spacing is. I suspect its too narrow... i've used ceramic blades before, but only a little. i dont know much about care and maintenance. curently i just use standard tandy blades and handles. any experiences? Or some other idea? or just practice makes perfect? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bison Report post Posted February 27, 2011 I tried a double ceramic blade...didn't like it at all. I do quite a bit of carving where i have two parallel lines either as a border or in a knot, and I'd say it really is a matter of practice making perfect. I approach it like drawing and keep part of my hand in contact with the leather at all times, go at a steady rate and keep focused. Hang in there!
