Jeremiah Watt QC bevelers

[Sanch]

Okay so recently yes I made a couple of edge bevelers had a blast doing it. They do work and they are effective and I only lost a little bit of skin on the tip of my left forefinger while making the handles! LOL! So I watched the review that Nigel did and have read a few other reviews but I wanna know what the collective thinks how many of you own them and love them or not? What kind of mileage can one expect  from these tools  I understand they're not  3 figure  tools  but I also understand  that you can  strop them . I was very close to pulling the trigger on a full set tonight just because, like I said before I like making my own tools but this set really intrigues me so any feedback is greatly appreciated.

There is a significant thread on these bevelers here:

Seems there have been mixed results, including in the responses received from JW to customers.

hmmm. Wondering if they got the issue straightened out. I read through the whole thread. Sounds like heat treating went bad on a batch. And that is very unfortunate but easy to do. I have never purchased from Jeremiah Watt, the tools are out of my price range at the moment because I can make my own (recently discovered) of course they look nowhere near as pretty but found that it is a doable task and time consuming. So to all of those disgruntled consumers living in a fast-food world be wary of the stones you throw just my two cents.  Until you actually try to make your own by learning the various processes that it takes to produce something such as the tools that we use it's very hard to appreciate the work that goes into them. That having been said anyone providing the tools should stand behind their work quality control should be stringent. And no I am not throwing any stones of my own. Does this change whether or not I will purchase the tools of course it does but I can also say there is no magic unicorn so who knows. For the price of the full set of blades plus a handle it may be worth the Gamble. Really let's take a look at this in retrospect all of us at one time or another purchased tools that we knew were  not up to the standards of what was being considered high end tools. So think about this when you talk to a customer that wants to pay way too little for your time and work of one of your products they are comparing it to something that can be purchased elsewhere they are not taking into consideration your time nor effort. So to all of this I say if they had a try it before you buy it how would jump all over it unfortunately that is not the world we live in not even with the products that we make ourselves! In the aforementioned thread I seen no responses from Jeremiah Watt and I would also like to say that is not me throwing another Stone. I'm sure he will take care of the issues.
