Besides a very good way to keep your finger away from the blade. Canute 1 Quote Please, visit our Facebook page!

shiloh Posted August 12, 2015 #4 Posted August 12, 2015 They also make a swivel knife that looks much like this one. Smaller blade and swivels, looks good to me but I use swivel knives with my leather tooling. The Fiscar swivel knife probably won't work well with tooling leather but it should make some nice sprial cuts in wood. Can see a place in carving and detailing with that knife. Google 'Fiscar Swivel Knife' and take a look. Price is low enough to justify occaisional use. jud Quote
