stelmackr Posted June 7, 2015 Report Posted June 7, 2015 I used to have a translation dictionary that gave the meaning for British English Language to American English Language, such as: torch....flashlight rubber....eraser lorry.....truck ..so I am not surprised that head knife and round knife might mean different things on each side of the pond.

Members LakeHavasuLeather Posted February 26, 2019 Members Report Posted February 26, 2019 Why is a leather knife called a Head Knife ?? Who came up with this and why a "Head" Knife. I understand the round knife, as the blade is round or half round. In French it's a Demi Lune or Half Moon (moon is round) knife ?? Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Posted February 27, 2019 These things have been around since long before the English language. I don't think the terminology means that much. I did like the bird's head comment though, that makes sense. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
