Members mikesmith648 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 I also have 2 BK knives, love his beader blade also......thinking of putting a lot of my others and also the craftools up for sale!

Members lightingale Posted September 1, 2012 Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 I got one of BK's swivel knifes a couple of months ago, and I love it. He even made the barrel extra short to accomodate my small hands. I don't know what he does with the steel, but the blade rarely needs stropping. I'll definitely order again (I'd like a filigree swivel knife and a few more stamps), but I'll have some American family bring it across the border to Canada next time. Shipping + duties were OUCH.

Members mikesmith648 Posted September 1, 2012 Members Report Posted September 1, 2012 I have the 1/8" beader blade and a #3 beveler blade that matches it! Together they work fantastic...makes beautiful double cuts easy! Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!! Hoping to reverse the order in that one of these days!!

MIke, can you share a picture of what the cut fromthe beader blade looks like? Quote Once you know what the magician know.... it isn't magic anymore.
Members mikesmith648 Posted November 22, 2012 Members Report Posted November 22, 2012 Here is a pic of the blades. The first one (from the bottom up) is just the beader blade. The second one is the beader blade with the burnisher blade. The third one (top) is just the burnish blade. Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!!

Contributing Member SooperJake Posted November 22, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Mike, by burnisher, are you refering to another type of swivel knife blade or a push beader?

Members mikesmith648 Posted November 22, 2012 Members Report Posted November 22, 2012 Mine is a swivel knife blade that I got from Sheridan Leather Outfitters. I think it was 25 bucks. They also have the BK beader blades for the same price Barry sells his for so you could get both and make sure they match. The push beveler was a little out of my price range...I think it was like 55.00 from BK. I have one knife with the bead blade and another with the beveler blade in it so I don't have to change it every time......works for me! The one I use is a #3 beveler blade from Kutter and the matching beader blade Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!!

Members GlenH Posted November 23, 2012 Members Report Posted November 23, 2012 Mike, I've been looking for that beveler, but I can't seem to find it on Sheridan Leather Outfitter's web site. Do you have a link for it? Quote GlenPresident, South Central Leathercrafters' GuildNashville, TN
Members mikesmith648 Posted November 23, 2012 Members Report Posted November 23, 2012 I would call them..........their website doesn't have all their stuff on it. 1-888-803-3030 They have knowledgeable people there and will help you get what you need Quote Emergency Room Nurse by profession.......Leatherworker at heart!!

Contributing Member SooperJake Posted November 23, 2012 Contributing Member Report Posted November 23, 2012 I thought you meant the beveler blade was from Barry King. Now it makes sense. Thanks. Quote Once you know what the magician know.... it isn't magic anymore.
