Members MakerUnknown Posted July 9, 2018 Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) I find the small sharpened part on the end to be very valuable in pull cuts. Excellent excellent craftsmanship in the Leather Wrangler's knives I do bespoke furniture and pride myself on my hand skills which require the sharpest of tools. I've spent a lifetime sharpening chisels and plane blades but when I opened up the round knife I was humbled. It's a function of course on how thin the blade is but still, it's the only tool I own that scares me. Always uber respective when I handle it.

Members darkmatter35 Posted July 9, 2018 Members Report Posted July 9, 2018 If the time comes that you need to sell a professional quality knife, should be able to recoup a good portion of what you paid for it and it will be a quick sale. John Quote

John So much so, that if you find yourself in that position right now, contact me and I'll buy your knife! I have the Tandy Al Stohlman one, and rarely use. I've sharpened and sharpened, etc. etc., and have never been happy with it. When I do "get it kinda sharp", it needs stropping immediately again. Jeff Quote So much leather...so little time.
bikermutt07 Posted July 9, 2018 Report Posted July 9, 2018 @MakerUnknown, I feel the same way about Terry's little clicker knife. When it is out of it's sheath I am super concerned with where it is. Gawd, that little knife scares me. 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.

I was remiss for not adding Paul to my list of great makers in my previous post. He certainly is deserving of a spot in the top tier.! Paul Quote Paul long-----108 Briarwood Ln.
