Ayup, just spoke with them and found that out ;0)

Apparently, unless you search for "plastic edge beveler" it doesn't show :0/ I was searching for swivel beveler and the like :0/

So I have 5 of them coming LOL That's enough *shoppin* for one day ;0)

Thanks again :)

Good call!! I have a couple of them sitting in my drawer ready for replacement or modification :)

I have had one in my tool box for decades (bought back when tandy had them) never used it until I read about it here. Anyway my point is I just ordered a few from Springfield i am going to try taking some off each side of the blade to make it smaller to aid in geting around tight curves and the like. has anyone tried this yet?

I took a little of the sides of mine but nothing of note, my main goal was to sharpen the bevel. If it were me I would probably measure and cut the plastic to narrow it almost as much as I wanted, taking some from both sides... then do the shaping and smoothing with a file.

Let us know if you find any issues we should know about.

A teacher pointed at me with a ruler and said "At the end of this ruler is an idiot." I got detention when I asked "Which end?"

Another option is to take a beveler stamp and cut off most of the handle so you can chuck it into your swivel knife. You can even grind a small flat side on it so the set screw will hold it better. Most beveling stamps are of a smaller diameter than the hole in the swivel knife which does leave them ever so slightly off center when chucked in. A longer set screw may be necessary as well, but these can easily be ordered. I did this with a beveler that I had a duplicate of, long before I ever heard of the nylon ones. I'll try to remember to snap a photo when get to the shop later today.
