Cowboy 8020 splitter

[DavidMillsSaddlery]

Nobody? You’d think the folks who sell them would be asking those they’ve sold them to, to kindly reply to a thread like this?

Hey @CowboyBob do you know anything about the Cowboy 8020 splitter?  Looks like some interest in this thread.

Still no responses huh? Did you end up finding someone who had one!? I'm in the same boat but want to try one first

No, I haven't used one, or bought a splitter at all, I've been keeping a eye out for a band knife though, .

I bought a Cobra class 14 and am very happy with it. Was looking at cowboy but decided not to.

I am looking as well.  Does the cobra 14 actually cut 14”.   Same with cowboy 20” cut 20” wide.  Not much real info.   No video I could find cutting a piece that wide.  
I have some products that I would like to split down that are wide.  Might be cheaper just to get correct thickness of leather but with covid it’s been hard to find leather and get it the size stated.

Although I wish I had some reviews about the cowboy, neither splitters (any) are recommended to split the whole length of the blade. for a 14" blade, you should skiff 12-13" piece.
