Members Slider Posted June 2, 2012 Members Report Posted June 2, 2012 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?

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. Quote 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?"
Members Logans Leather Posted July 3, 2012 Members Report Posted July 3, 2012 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. Quote
