ITCL Report post Posted September 15, 2016 Can someone tell me the best knife to use for filigree, that is ready available? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TinkerTailor Report post Posted September 16, 2016 A good source for knives for filligree work are chip carving knives for woodwork. Shape size and style will depend on your preference. Both in what your hand likes to use, but also what the design and materials call for. There are also lots of cheap chinese "shape punches" on the internet that would probably be useful for corners and other things. Assume at that price they may need a little sharpening.

Bob Blea Report post Posted September 16, 2016 Another possibility is a filigree blade for your swivel knife. I have a narrow blade for my Leatherwrangler's swivel knife that they make. It gives me very good control of the blade and I feel a lot more comfortable using this than a scalpel or Xacto knife. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
