Thank you!

In your case, I have to thank you, Mike. This you provided useful information, presenting it very professionally.

Someday I'll surely purchase some of your video courses. I just need to get better after buying tools :)

Some people would say its not the tools, but the skills.  I say its a little bit of both, but knowledge goes a lot farther than a new tool.  Unless its a black crack beveler :)

Great video, would be nice to see it in action, to compare the three different blade widths and their results.  Also, tried to find ?Rickert? via interwebs, but came up short.  Never saw it spelled out anywhere, and I don't know where their website is, not sure if I missed it from your video or not, but I did watch twice trying to figure it out.  Can you help a guy out here?

As I mentioned, the blades needed a lot of work to make them smooth, and I am not willing to spend the time to fix a blade just to send it back to the company.  I know what the result would have been, so I didn't include a test run of an unfinished blade.  You can find the knives here:  https://www.rickert-werkzeug.de/en/General-tools/Leather-Knives-Cutting/?p=1
