Ferg Report post Posted April 4, 2011 I am looking for high quality swivel knife like Bob Beard or Henley. I also need a good beader blade. chapelstonellc@gmail.com You would never get a better knife than the SK-3 from Leather Wranglers Inc. i have a ceramic beader I have not used as yet. You will find that most of the pros use a single blade knife and dividers to mark the second cut. ferg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spinner Report post Posted April 4, 2011 I agree, the SK-3 is my best knife . I really like my Barry King knives but after getting the SK-3 a month ago, I have a hard time going back to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
terrymac Report post Posted April 4, 2011 Dittos for the SK-3. Paul of Leather Wrangler has come up with a metal alloy that holds an edge better than anything I have ever used. I have used mine for over a year now, and have only used a stone a couple of times. Stropping with the rouge compound they also sell is all I have needed.
