Your knife is a beautiful work of art as well, by the way.  Kind of the custom leather belt vs. Wally world belt comparison I suppose.. once you try the super nice leather belt I make, you won't want another cheapo Wally world one!

Lol...It's not about beauty Yin, it's about performance ;) And don't get me started on high performance cars :P

Well, the blade is what is doing the cutting, and needing the stropping. If you make sure to get the right diameter shank, a really fine blade will make the difference. I might try that myself. I think there are two major shank diameters. Just to have to make sure I pick the right one!

Hmm, just a thought Alpha2...I believe that LW makes blades that will fit in a Tandy swivel knife. So, that would be less money spent for a better performing tool. The cost is $55 for a blade that will fit a Tandy barrel according to their website. That would be a considerable savings if budget is a constraint. And I too am a confessed tool junkie lol...probably shouldn't spend the money on a head knife either after hearing Yin's argument for cost effectiveness. :rolleyes2:

That's a good idea, so I looked at the LW website and then figured if I am paying $55 for a blade, why not get the complete knife for $110?  I ordered the brass body knife and and extra blade - looking forward to testing it out.

Don't try to follow my logic and understand my pricking iron collection at the same time...

James, I should receive it at the end of the week.  I am in the middle of carving a shotshell pouch and have already carved two oak leaves, so I am going to wait and finish the additional two oak leaves with the new knife!  I’ll post results when I finish.
