Members joeyrsmith Posted March 23, 2013 Members Report Posted March 23, 2013 Hi everyone, been awhile since posting last. Just got my new round knife. Man what a difference I am on cloud 9 right now. Can not believe I waited this long to try one. Will never go back to the past way of using a utility knife. Just wanted to jump up and down with like minded people. Did that last night in the workshop with nobody around. Was not that fun. So I had to post it. Anyway, everyone have a great day. Joey Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 23, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted March 23, 2013 Here's a quick tip for you head knife use....when it feels like it is dragging, lighten the pressure you're applying. I thought there was something wrong with my blade when i was actually through the leather and starting to cut into the cutting board. Quote
Members joeyrsmith Posted March 24, 2013 Author Members Report Posted March 24, 2013 THX for the tip. Used it again tonight and again started to uncontrollably dance about the room by myself. Remember Billy Idol? "Dancing with myself" That was me. Quote
Members Basically Bob Posted March 24, 2013 Members Report Posted March 24, 2013 Joey, I understand! I am new to leatherwork and just love working with my head knife. Quote
Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted March 24, 2013 Contributing Member Report Posted March 24, 2013 A good sharp knife CAN be joy to use, but if you're dancing around because of it....slowly put down the blade, you need to get outside more. Quote
