i have the barry king, al stohman(from tandy) and the henley swivel knife.

the al stohman knife i purchased when on sale and thought it was good with a ceramic angle blade in it.

found out barry king makes a double line blade that fits this knife. now this knife cuts only borders when i want a raised line for a border.

the barry king knife i purchased right after attending Chan Geer's class in portland or. Chan let me use it on my project and i fell in love with the feel of the knurling on the shaft and the ease of turning it, smoothness of the blade cutting the leather. also learned that this blade needs to be stropped a lot during use.

the problem with barry king swivel knives is they will only take barry king blades.

last year i tried a henley knife at the 3rd Chan Geer class in portland or. i really fell in love with this knife. the feel of the knife was like no other.

i ordered one 1 week after the class. it took 2 months for the henley to show up at my door. henley said that it will take about 2 months due to me ordering their most popular size.

i have the angle blade and straight blade from henley and just love this swivel knife.

i still use my barry king knife but find that i reach for the henley first.

bottom line is i think you cant go wrong with barry king or henley swivel knives they are both great knives and would not trade/sell them for anything.
