Tina Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BearMan Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post 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 Report post 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!
