Ok,

I have spent the last two days looking at swivel knives. I already have 3. Two of the Tandy ones and a Stohlman ball bearing one.

I think I need more. But why? Why more.

Then there's head/round knives. I have one a nice Stohlman one bur I have been searching the internet for more..

Why?

I saw some cool vintage rawhide mallets on eBay. I have one of the Tandy ones... Do I need another?

I find my car sometimes points itself toward the local Tandy. I don't need anything and have looked at everything there about 2000 times. But I still find myself yearning to go. Why?

Please help me understand.

Nothing is wrong with you. This is perfectly normal leatherworker behavior. Most of you are tool junkies. There is no cure. You need to work hard so you can buy more tools. Check out the knives Pabloz makes- http://leatherwranglers.com

Wait a minute! You only have 3 swivel knifes?? That's not enough.

Is there is something lacking in your diet?

You either need to get to a doctor or go buy more swivel knifes right away. :lol:

Maybe this should be leatherjunkies.net and Johanna will be our enabler! We need a twelve step program... or just more tools...

Johanna Yes, I have seen them and would like to get one in the Royalty Blue!

WestTX I go to the one in Austin. On 35 near downtown. I work in Austin a few day a week so it is almost convenient!

Minisaddle- I have only been at this for a couple months now. I am unsure of the proper etiquette, so with 2 months experience how many knives should I have? ;)

Oh, only a couple of months. I think 3 knifes for now is fine, but that won't last long.

I think we all need a support group! We could all meet at Tandy - Bad idea!!

Allen,

I've been at this stuff since '73 and my current collection of swivel knives (not including the ones I make) is 17.....which is why I started making them.

Then heres the rest:

7 round/head knives

6 Xacto

5 skivers

4 filigree

3 Utility

2 scalpels

1 hook bill

......you could almost make a song out this.
