two crows Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 Is this a leather strap cutter? MIke J Quote
Members Kevin Posted July 29, 2012 Members Report Posted July 29, 2012 Yes, that is a plough gauge for cutting straps. Kevin Quote
Members shtoink Posted July 29, 2012 Members Report Posted July 29, 2012 That thing looks awesome and a great deal more finger friendly than some of the wooden ones I have seen, too. Quote
mlapaglia Posted July 29, 2012 Report Posted July 29, 2012 This one is different as you push the blade instead of pull it. I always wanted to try one. It looks like it might be easier than the wooden pull ones. Quote The key to immortality is first living a life worth remembering. Bruce Lee

Bruce Johnson put me onto a vedio that shows how to use this thing without cutting your arm off. Thanks Mike Quote

Mike Hey Mike,,,, I used this cutter today to cut some 3in. x 6 ft straps for a saddle repair and this thing works great. Really slick..mike Quote
Mike Craw Posted August 6, 2012 Report Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) Hey Mike! I always sort of figured I'd do better pushing a strap cutter than I have pulling it. I'm glad to hear that it is working well for you. Just remember, like a round knife, left hand BEHIND the blade Mike OK, why the hell don't you ever see dumb spelling mistakes until AFTER you hit "Post Reply"???
