Compared to the basic Tandy knife the pro one is awesome, but it does not meet the quality of a Barry King (or other makers ) quality.  They do work, just far from the best.  The blades are pretty bad, really recommend buying a better one.  Barry does make one that fits Tandy knives, you will be amazed at the amount of better once you change.  Both sharper and the big deal is it will stay sharper longer.

Thanks for the advice. I will look into getting one of those blades from Barry. Even though I found the knife to be way superior to the cheap one I did notice that it took almost as much stropping as the cheaper knife just to keep it from dragging. It looks like I should have went with the Barry King the prices were about the same.

I have the large and small barrel Craftool Pro swivel knives. Both of mine swivel freely, and have no play in the bearings.

Thanks for the reply. I guess I just got a defective one. It's a good thing it doesn't effect the performance I really like the yoke.

Just get a barry king for $50.
