Members Redbone Posted February 7, 2017 Members Report Posted February 7, 2017 I am looking for a new swivel knife something with at least 1/2 barrel any suggestions? Quote
bikermutt07 Posted February 7, 2017 Report Posted February 7, 2017 See for sale section under berry king tools. Owner is splitting up for offers right now. Good luck. Quote 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.
Members ContactCement Posted May 12, 2017 Members Report Posted May 12, 2017 I prefer a longer fixed handle like longer handle like a craft knife when compared to a wiggly jiggly hand cramping swivel knife. Get a cheap bag of scraps with a coupon and practice with either tool. The swivel knife bevels are supposed to limit the depth of cut. Other than that they both cut. Quote

The swivel knife bevel is really more to help your tooling. A wide bevel makes beveling your design easier. I'd love to see some tooling you have done with a craft knife.

I'm just sick of paying mechanics tool prices (and most mechanics tools are lifetime guaranteed) for non warranted garbage or tool shaped "specialty" objects imported and sold to leather crafters at the customers expense to make a quick profit.

Perhaps I'll figure out a way to afix a swivel knife blade to a craft knife handle like Contact mentioned. Quote
