Sovran81 Report post Posted February 27, 2012 I own one and like it. The good--- solid frame, solid tool steel blade instead of the bimetal or edge hardened blade, The blade is set up dead center on the roller, great finish on the frame. The handle locks down securely. The bad--- index markings for depth are only rough guess, The blade could be sharper out of the box, but hey couldnt they all. Controlled tapers are made a little more difficult due to the spring on the handle (this could just be me). My only disappointment is the roller. It is not billet and has an assembly gap from rolling the flat stock into the roller. I have measured the leather before, at, and after this gap and there is no difference so this small gap is purely asthetic. Would I recommend this splitter to a friend? Yes. it is accurate, simple to maintain and easy to use. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
