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! YinTx Lol...It's not about beauty Yin, it's about performance And don't get me started on high performance cars Quote

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. Quote

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. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4

James 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. Gary Quote Cowboy 4500, Consew 206RB-4
