Billy Hell Report post Posted August 19, 2015 I scored this on ebay. I was as interested in the blade as the swivel knife. All I have in the way of swivel knifes is an old newbie knife by Tandy and the $28 swivel with the black rubber yoke. I was looking at Henley's knifes but there aren't any in stock. I found this on ebay and it looks to be a ball bearing based swivel from Tandy??? The blade looks like an edge beader with one long leg and two sharpened blades. Anyone know this swivel knife? Anyone know anything about the beader? I'm assuming I cut my line and then use the long leg in the cut cut line and get a second line from the second leg?

Billy Hell Report post Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) Why would the long leg be sharp? Looks like if it was supposed to hang off it would be dull. Edited August 19, 2015 by Billy Hell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

electrathon Report post Posted August 20, 2015 I have never seen one before with the longer leg sharpened. Two legs the same, both are sharp. One leg longer, shorter is sharp. As I have seen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk Scarbrough Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I don't know about that "blade", but that swivel knife looks like my 30 (?) year old Tandy non adjustable swivel knife I received with one of their leather working kits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Billy Hell Report post Posted October 26, 2015 After a few projects with this knife I have to say I really like it. I use it and one of my favorite old blades (from the 1960s) for decorative cuts. I have yet to use the beader, which is why I bought the knife in the first place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mlapaglia Report post Posted October 26, 2015 It looks to me like someone sharpened the long edge. The angles are not the same on the two edges. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billybopp Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I have one of the Tandy ceramic beaders, ... both legs equal and sharp .. and have to say that I really like it. It does not see a LOT of use, but for certain things it's great .. .particularly putting a border around things such as names, etc. Here's one example ...

Billy Hell Report post Posted October 26, 2015 I wanted a dual beader for my holsters. Maybe I'll give the ceramic a try. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
