Members lariat Posted May 2, 2014 Members Report Posted May 2, 2014 Was cleaning out one of my boxes of miscellaneous leather "stuff" and came across and empty bottle for Omega Carve-eeze. It was promoted by Tandy as a alternative to plain water for casing leather prior to carving. The person I learned tooling from in the 60s swore by it and I used it or several years until it was discontinued by Tandy. Some told me that it was all in my mind, but I did feel that it made the swivel knife cut a little more smoothly and I felt that that it increased the burnishing effect of tooling — and maybe a little less tendency for the leather to dry out quickly. Does anyone have a comment or know what the chemical makeup was. I'm sure it was probably a low concentration some type of light oil. I do seem to remember it having a slight slick feeling on my fingers. Quote
