Finally found time to post this...25 and counting.

Top row: AFAB inc. custom, Bob Beard, Chuck Smith, Henley, Barry King, Hackbarth, Hackbarth, C.S. Osborne.

2nd row: A variety of Craftool products with different blades

3rd row: Midas, Midas (with Craftool yoke because the Midas one fell apart), Midas, Develbiss, (unknown), X-Acto, (unknown), (unknown).

If anyone can identify the unknown ones please let me know.

VERY neat!!! I noticed the blades- do you use the angled blades a lot? I prefer them but have been trying to learn the 3/8 straight.

Most of my tooling involves small, tight curves. for straight lines or more broad flowing patterns I will switch to a straight blade. My go-to knife is the first one. A friend of mine in Arizona and I made it based on what I thought a swivel knife should feel like in the hand. It was the prototype. We were going to make more but it never happened.

I am still jealous of King'sX collection. I hope he takes the time to identify all of them for us. There are a couple of them that I am not familiar with yet.

Ohhhh, Thanks Ben.

I don't usually have trouble with this sort of thing.

Usually things just download with one click...

I have an imac, so I tried pressing the command key

and then clicking on the link and it is downloading now.

Thanks so much for your help.

Nice collection....I see few familiar models and a few that I still need for my collection.

[REDTAILHAWK]

Thanks King's X. I was very lucky to get a few of them. Especially the Rob Barr Swivel Master that holds the Xacto blades.
