Members Modad2010 Posted January 20, 2015 Members Report Posted January 20, 2015 I am in need of a round knife. I have an old CSO that I believe someone took to a grinding wheel and got too hot and removed the temper, resulting in the inability to remain sharp without constant stropping. I really wish I could afford to drop $200-$250 on a Dozer, Knip, or Leather Wrangler but can't right now. I have seen some used Rose and new Weaver Master tools and J. Watt for $90-$120 range. Any recommendations on which would be the best bang for the buck? Thanks, Doug Quote
Members camano ridge Posted January 20, 2015 Members Report Posted January 20, 2015 (edited) Contact Bruce Johnson. http://brucejohnsonleather.com/leather-tools-sale/knives-and-handled-cutting-tools-sale/ The knife you get from him is sharp and ready to use.

Members Tramps Leatherworking Posted January 20, 2015 Members Report Posted January 20, 2015 A few months ago I purchased a new CSO head knife for less than $55.00 --- sharpened it up, and so far I have no complaints --- was well worth the money.
