Great tutorial for practicing swivel knife. For me , I have learned that concentration on the third finger pressure to help guide the blade cut has helped me get more accurate cuts ! An learning to leaning top of knife to change direction for petal an leaf cuts . Thanks Don . Great view of your hand an finger movement s .
Do you have a preference on blade style? My swivel knife came with a straight blade like you use in this video, but I had a thought that an angled blade would do something for me, but now I can’t remember what it was.
Hello Mr Gonzalez,I want to wet form a cigar case but I want to tool a design into it also.What do I do first to maintain my tooling? Thank you in advance.
In one of your past videos you had a beveller that you could run along straight lines quickly rather than using a stamp. Where could I find one of those?
FYI I just bought scraps from Amazon. The vendor is ELW (European Leather Works). I got 6 lbs of 6-10 oz for $60 with a 10% discount. They sell 1lb for $20 as well as lighter weight. I've bought scraps from them 4 times over the last 2 years and the sizes are excellent for practice or small projects. Have a great day.
Do you have more videos about swivel knife information? Your video piped up on Google News information, lol. I was not searching, but your video is very informative!
Thank You Don that is what I needed!!!
Mr. Don,
Jim Linnel has a video called swivel knife finesse every body should watch, I believe he also offers it as a course at most leather shows.
Thank you, Don, that was very helpful! I'm a musician and can't agree with you more on the importance of practice. Great video!
Thanks Don! Great tips!
Don you never cease to amaze me. Thank you so very much for sharing your genius.

Thanks, Don. Good information. Now I just need practice!
Even your practice pieces are artistic.
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for.[ My swivel knife is not sharp enough]
Very well explained. Thank you
Awesome info. Thanks so much❤️
Thank you!

Thank You

Thank yo, Don have a lot of practice required 😬
A video covering case management would be awesome. Also would you mind showing/detailing the tool roll you keep your stamps in? Thank you Sir!
Great info.

Age old question.... Can I buy a swivel knife that comes sharpened, stropped and ready for use?
You can from most custom makers but after a bit of use you’ll need to strop it anyway.

Good information, I'm just starting. Do you sell practice bags of leather? AKA scrapes.

What do you think about ceramic bladed swivel knives.
I know I have two of them and love them
