[@joerunyan9344]

Thank You Don that is what I needed!!!

[@keithpetersen4920]

Don you never cease to amaze me. Thank you so very much for sharing your genius.

[@charlesabbott5563]

Mr. Don, Jim Linnel has a video called swivel knife finesse every body should watch, I believe he also offers it as a course at most leather shows.

Thank you, Don, that was very helpful! I'm a musician and can't agree with you more on the importance of practice. Great video!

Thank You

Great tutorial for practicing swivel knife. For me , I have learned that concentration on the third finger pressure to help guide the blade cut has helped me get more accurate cuts ! An learning to leaning top of knife to change direction for petal an leaf cuts . Thanks Don . Great view of your hand an finger movement s .

[@deanramseyer9003]

Even your practice pieces are artistic.

[@scottycampbell7299]

Thanks, Don. Good information. Now I just need practice!

[@judithwright5084]

Awesome info. Thanks so much❤️

[@maynardconde.2954]

Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.[ My swivel knife is not sharp enough]

[@sarlenasafa3863]

Thank you Don it should be wet ?

[@staceyboyd8236]

I gotta spend more time practicing...

[@davidshorb7453]

Very well explained. Thank you

[@tinoyb9294]

Thank you!

Do you have a preference on blade style? My swivel knife came with a straight blade like you use in this video, but I had a thought that an angled blade would do something for me, but now I can’t remember what it was.

Hello Mr Gonzalez,I want to wet form a cigar case but I want to tool a design into it also.What do I do first to maintain my tooling? Thank you in advance.

[@richardgorton2498]

Thank yo, Don have a lot of practice required 😬

[@J-ROutdoors]

In one of your past videos you had a beveller that you could run along straight lines quickly rather than using a stamp. Where could I find one of those?

[@lestergrigsby594]

great tips, thanks

[@densealloy]

A video covering case management would be awesome. Also would you mind showing/detailing the tool roll you keep your stamps in? Thank you Sir!

[@michaelrosenow4393]

Magic. 🙏

[@JohnTomasella]

Great info.

[@deangrieger5241]

Age old question.... Can I buy a swivel knife that comes sharpened, stropped and ready for use?

[@joshthomas6095]

You can from most custom makers but after a bit of use you’ll need to strop it anyway.

[@mikeswaim2670]

Good information, I'm just starting. Do you sell practice bags of leather? AKA scrapes.

[@densealloy]

FYI I just bought scraps from Amazon. The vendor is ELW (European Leather Works). I got 6 lbs of 6-10 oz for $60 with a 10% discount. They sell 1lb for $20 as well as lighter weight. I've bought scraps from them 4 times over the last 2 years and the sizes are excellent for practice or small projects. Have a great day.

[@DavidLeeKersey]

What do you think about ceramic bladed swivel knives.

[@cwickgo9]

I know I have two of them and love them

[@confidentialmobileservices9200]

Do you have more videos about swivel knife information? Your video piped up on Google News information, lol. I was not searching, but your video is very informative!
