Carverdw Report post Posted December 10, 2020 In a recent online search, I recently saw a leather strap cutter that can use a verity if blades including craft knife blades, and box cutter blades. The handle on the cutter was beige or tan and shaped like an old style gun. When I went back online to order one, I could not find it again. Does anyone know the source of this cutter that takes a number of blades? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northmount Report post Posted December 10, 2020 Have you looked through the history in the browser that you are using? Sometimes takes a while to go through your history, but as long as you haven't deleted it, or set the limit really low, you should be able to find it.

fredk Report post Posted December 10, 2020 I think you are looking for a 'draw' or 'plough gauge' strap cutter https://www.amazon.co.uk/Professional-Leather-Cutting-Machine-Aluminium/dp/B07WWDL7PY/ref=sr_1_6?adgrpid=58616271092&dchild=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIiZ-Tkt7D7QIVkWDmCh1THgReEAMYASAAEgK9W_D_BwE&hvadid=259095674075&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046454&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=15844784943665506087&hvtargid=kwd-297398175991&hydadcr=28176_1821089&keywords=strap+cutter+leather&qid=1607614747&sr=8-6&tag=googhydr-21 https://hwebber.co.uk/shop/c-s-osborne-leather-working-tools/leather-knives-sharpening-stones/knives-sharpening-stones-leather-knives/draw-gauge/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI6dDH_9_D7QIVqujtCh25XgclEAQYBiABEgKF6fD_BwE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arturomex Report post Posted December 10, 2020 Just to be clear, those two links are for draw gauges. Plough gauges are pushed, not pulled. And I think you can do a lot better on price than what they're asking for that Osborne draw gauge. Regards, Arturo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

battlemunky Report post Posted December 11, 2020 I know I have expressed very little love for Tandy in the past but one of the few things they have that is really effective is the strap cutter @chuck123wapati mentioned. They are hard to mess up and they work really well. Once you use one you'll not want to use a straight edge again. The Tandy one is fine but Romanov Tools's offering looks amazing but I haven't used one, just internet window shopped them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
