JohnB40 Posted August 11, 2015 #1 Posted August 11, 2015 Greetings all, I was at the local Bi-Mart today following my wife around when I spotted these,and decided to give it a try for the princely sum of $4 It works really well,allows great control,and is like a having a razor sharp forefinger.

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
