leahlowe Report post Posted November 16, 2017 What is the difference in all of these swivel knife blades? What is the use for each type? Looking to buy replacement blades for mine to do some basic floral tooling patters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cradom Report post Posted November 17, 2017 Filligree blade is used to cut completely through the leather so the piece under it can show through. https://www.google.com/search?q=filigree+leather&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjEvL_5qMbXAhXGxlQKHc74Dv8QsAQIMQ&biw=1920&bih=919 Hollow ground is pretty much a normal blade. Hollow ground refers to the way it's ground into it's final shape. (scroll down) http://www.raphaelstoday.com/Pages/RightToolsForTheJob.aspx Angle blade is used for fine detail work. It's usually smaller and ground to a sharper angle than a regular blade, which is flat. https://www.google.com/search?biw=1920&bih=919&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=2jUPWu3CBuvBjwTa4KmQBQ&q=angle+blade+swivel+knife+blade&oq=angle+blade+swivel+knife+blade&gs_l=psy-ab.3...11700.22025.0.22528.13.13.0.0.0.0.135.1452.1j12.13.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.1.134...0i30k1j0i8i30k1.0.J28siySFPFM There used to be what I called a hair blade, which was wide and made little lines in a row so it looked like hair. Don't know if they still make this.
