Hello,

 

Does anyone know of a custom blade/knife maker that makes a quality replacement blade for a clicker knife?

 

Thanks

This guy makes a nice looking clicker knife with a permanent blade. I haven't bought one but have read some satisfied reviews here.

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.

Thanks bikermutt, I have seen his knives and will most likely buy 1 or 2. I'm looking for a cheaper way. I found a guy that makes clicker blades that fit Tandys, SLC, CS Osborne and probably other bodies. I haven't decided if putting a $25 blade in a $2 body is worth it in the long run. I may just bite the bullet and buy 2 quality knives and call it a day.

Thanks Matts but I'm going a different direction. I usually cheap out but I need a quality knife for pattern cutting, i'm going custom after the 1st of the year.

Three blades would buy the knipknife??

I've been looking for a bit of advice on sharpening clicker knife blades.  

I love my new clicker knife, but would be happier to be able to get a bit extra life out of each blade.   Having difficulty sharpening, as my technique is garbage. :-(

Lumpen, that is the very reason I ordered a Knip French Model knife. I had a clicker knife also, it was difficult to sharpen and wouldn't hold an edge.
