Members Tina Posted November 20, 2011 Members Report Posted November 20, 2011 You have to try http://www.leatherwranglers.com/ I don't know anyone not being happy with Paul's knifes...Paul is a member here on LW :-) Quote "He who works with his hands is a laborer.

BearMan Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 Hi, I have one of Paul's knifes also,,, it's a great knife, one of the best I've ever used. Pauls' blades are very sharp, & holds an edge for a long long time! I also got a knife from Bryan,, http://leatherworker.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=28149&st=0&p=176719&hl=+copper%20+swivel%20+knife&fromsearch=1entry176719 He made me one out of copper,,, with I believe a Henley blade,, it's a great knife. I have a couple blades from Bob Beard, which are fantastic! I use them a lot. I have a knife from Henley,,, great knife & blades,,, well worth the money. I'm a swivel knife junkie,,, I have several kinds of knives & blades, including Rubyat & Ceramic, which to be made usable, must be sharpened & honed a lot. There are lots of good choices. Both Paul Z. & Henley are quick & easy & Great to deal with, & have great products. You will see the difference with the first use,,, well worth the money!! I hope this helps,,, Ed the"BearMan" Quote Ed the"BearMan" polarb1717@aol.com Beary: BearMauls@yahoo.com http://tinyurl.com/BearMauls "The Best tooling mauls available today!"

Quote (John 8:32) And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. (KJV) And the truth is that religion is nothing more than the lame attempt by largely ignorant people to bring sense and order to a world that was beyond their comprehension. Once you see religion for the delusional and superstitious artifact it is............... you will be free !
Moderator Art Posted November 20, 2011 Moderator Report Posted November 20, 2011 Bob Beard is the best, with a year wait time. Bob's blades are the best for me. His beader and hair blades are excellent. Henley knives are also very very good, and available. Barry King makes a very good knife at a reasonable price.

hidepounder Posted November 20, 2011 Report Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) I agree with everything that everyone has said so far! My favorite blades are probably Bob Beards. I have several and they are terrific! I have a number of Henley knives and like their blades a lot. Leather Wrangler knives and blades are top notch. I find myself using Paul's knife and blade to do all my decorative cuts with. I haven't tried Barry's knife or blade, but knowing him as I do, I'm confident they are top shelf and well worth the money. Chuck Smith makes an excellent knife and I recently tried one of his cobalt blades and found it to be outstanding! Billy Brown at Diamond B leather is also making a new swivel knife made of titanium. I haven't seen one yet and don't know about his blades. When it comes to ceramics, I don't use them because they are too fragile and are not available in many configurations. I do have a positive report on RubyAt blades however!. I purchased mine in the late sixties for $7-$8 each as I remember. I sold each of them, WITH CHIPPED TIPS for about $25 ea on Ebay! So if anyone who purchased a RubyAt blade in 60's or 70's would like their money back please feel free to call!!!! Hope this helps! Bobby Edited November 20, 2011 by hidepounder Quote
