I thought if I waited long enough, someone would post a picture of a swivel knife, and I wouldn't have to ask what one is.
As you can see, no-one has had the grace or foresight to read my mind and stop me making a fool of myself.
What is a swivel knife?
There, done it, pictures please, I can't stand it any longer! My imagination has run out of ideas!

A.E.,
 I am not the best to be explaining , a swivel knife, but it is used when carving leather! They make several brands and I just went to tandy and down loaded the first one that came up, I have one, just like this one.
Hope this helps

Yep...by golly that's a swivel knife. It's called a swivel knife 'cause it swivels. You can make curved cuts without turning anything but the knife. Pretty handy little item to have if yer gonna carve floral patterns on leather items. Wink

Thanks for the info, pards!
Now all I got to do is work out how it's used.
 I guess the best way is to find some-one over here who has one and get them to explain it.

Dhurrr, this is making my brain ache!!

They look pretty and they are a pain for the blade makers to make.
They serve on purpose.
