SOOOOOooooooo.... what was your opinion on the knife? I've not heard from anyone who has one and wold love to hear their take on the concept and use. I'de love to try one if I had a chance as I can "feel" it in my mind, but would love to cut some leather with it.

Please give us your take Bob.

Well, I found it best on thinner leather--up to 3/4 ounce. Thicker leather made it difficult (for me) to make the deeper smaller radius cuts. The thinner leathers let me be more fluid with the knife. I preferred a regular swivel knife for the main cuts (outlines and places were I would bevel) and the Tangleboss for the decorative swirls and flourishes. I found it does take some practice and some "out-of-the-box" freehand ideas to make it fit in with the other cuts.

Hope this helps. Ask SWFLholsters after they have had a chance to play with it.
