Good day Gentlemen.
I've been considering the purchase of a round knife for some time now. I've had several opportunities to use a couple of different sizes and shapes; once while attending Chan Geer's class, and again at the recent holster class put on by Bobby Rose. In addition I've had the opportunity to watch both of these guys and a number of other people use them with skill and good success. Last of all I've got John B's holster DVD set, where he goes into the use of the round knife, and demonstrates it.
I'm at 2 years of working with leather, minus about 5 months in the middle for a little stoke break. I'm enjoying it and I plan to continue, having made 4 holsters in the last three weeks, plus a couple more in the process.
So, what to do think about using a round knife? Yes, No, Maybe, and Why? I'm currently cutting everything with a utility knife. I appreciate and respect your experience and advice.
Thanks, JD
