The Leatherworker's head knife

[@shelleybakon2924]

Thank you for the practical sharpening information. Wonderful

It's the little skills, like how to sharpen tools, that need to be passed on before they are lost forever. I learned this from an old leather worker, now I've passed it on and that makes me feel more hopeful. :)

6:45 the way you fan the knife in your hand talking about how dangerous it is was terrifying 😳 Great video, exactly my question on why that knife, and how its used. Thank you

[@TraditionalTimes]

Thanks. The most important thing to remember is to store the knife properly. I now hang it between two pegs on the wall. Every time I have cut myself with this knife it's because it was either loose on a bench or in a drawer and I was looking for something else. A leather sheath also helps reduce the chance of injury. It has one of those now too. :)

I haven't gotten one yet, but I am getting more serious and thinking of maybe selling items. I saw and awesome Damascus head knife at Tandy last time I was there. I might try to hint I want it for my birthday in November.

Go for it, on both counts... :)

May I enquire as to the details of a suitable Emery Paste please?

[@TraditionalTimes]

They are all much of a muchness. I use a course emery paste made by BolPol. My tin is quite old now, but still useable. Just google BolPol Emery paste and you should be good to go. 😀
