Thank you for the information regarding Ceramic and Ruby cutting tools. I bought a nice leather working kit and had several different cutting swivel knives and could not find any information on them. Your video is very good, I like your interactions with each other it helps keep a persons attention, thank you very much for taking the time to share your knowledge.

Hello again from Melbourne, Australia
Exactly what I have been wanting, some tips and tucks lol still wanting some info on cutting less bevel more lol idk.
My order came in. The leather had a few more holes than my last. I bought at hobby lobby. Not my fav place for leather but had one hole but wasnt AS big. Who cares tho I'm so in love with this dye. It's to die for...no seriously, durring the apocalypse I'll grab my leather dyed for no reason but to know they are safe. Lmao. This is the best. I got black, green and red. Holiday colors for some nice leather stockings. Black becouse in the video it coated so nice and easily I didnt believe it. Well I do now. Never ever will I buy dye from anyone else. Cant wait to try the dye for edges and other colors. Thoroughly impressed and almost in love guys. Thank you so much. It also got here in 4 days for what 3 more bucks. Happy holidays guys you definitely made mine. Did I meantion with the sell I got the leather for 40 bucks. 9-11 square feet guys font miss the daleks and grab some dye. You WILL NOT regret it.
So glad you love you it as much as we do!
Thank Charly
There’s some really good information here, and it’s coming from a source with a lot of information worth learning…. But man you’ve got to want it pretty bad to stick around and get to it.
If you want...you will go get it!
Nice
Ceramic blades for swivel knives are sharpened on Diamond Stones. They are polished with diamond paste, the same stuff they use to polish Gem Stones.
The angle can be changed easy enough. But they are extremely brittle. If you try and use too much pressure on a diamond stone to quickly remove material, you can actually snap it in half.
You should have a drawing for some of those demonstration pieces! I would love the chance to hold in my hands what I just watched....
Great idea!
Totally would love that!
Ive taken a few classes @ Tandy & we use red & green, I see u have grey & white. which is for what?

Wath is it to sharp the swivel knife, a piece of lether and put it up side down ???
Greetings from Brazil 😀
You can use a leather strop or if you have a piece of veg tan leather, you can apply jewelers rouge to the leather and begin stropping your knife.
What swivel knife would you recommend?
A well stropped one.
What to line holster. 8,9oz
Your outside is 8-9oz? If so...2-3 oz would work well.
How do you get the jeweler's Rouge to transfer onto your strop? I'm having a lot of trouble getting it onto the strop.
Is it on the flesh side of your leather? That's where it's supposed to go on .
I have rubbed & rubbed it against the strop - hardly anything transferred. I dampened the leather but that didn't help I even put a little oil on the leather, let it soak in good, then I tried again to rub the Rouge on ut, but it didn't help. Using the smooth side of the leather strop.
@@bitsandspurz048 It goes on the rough/flesh side.
@@burkhardt7372 Ok, I did try that with no success but I will try again. It shouldn't be this hard! I'm not a beginner, although I just pulled my tools out again after 35 years. The Rouge wasn't like a rock then - it transferred onto the strop so I could polish my swivel knife. But now it's like a rock & so is the white one that I recently bought. Seems like it should be softer so some will transfer onto the strop.
@@bitsandspurz048 Try misting the leather with water to maybe absorb some of the moisture and the rouge will soften and come off.
Good morning port Charlotte fl
Good morning!
I wish the camera were close enough so that I could actually see what you were doing.
How close would you like it? What you are really looking for is the lines being cut and the flow of them. We can get closer, but then you won’t be able to see anything with how quick the cuts would move through the frame.
You’re right, simply zooming in closer wouldn’t be a good solution, so I re-watched a couple of the countless instructional videos I’ve seen to see what the differences are, and I found a couple from Springfield that illustrate them perfectly. I was wrong - the difference isn’t the need to get closer, rather, it’s the positions and angles at which the cameras are placed. For me, the absolute best camera placement is POV, or Point Of View, where the viewer sees the action from the same point of view as the person doing the work. That person wears a simple harness that holds the camera at upper chest level. You folks can make one without even having to think about it very much. A lot of other great ones are recorded with the camera mounted directly overhead. Finally, a camera mounted just above and behind the artist and aimed at the workspace in front of them looks to the viewer like were literally “looking over their shoulder.” With adequate lighting, we could see everything quite clearly, and with no shadows, or the artist’s hands obstructing our view. This link is to one of your company’s videos where all of these angles are represented, except it was recorded with somebody holding the camera and walking around to all of these angles, and more. But I think that a solid, POV mounted camera would look best of all. Here ya go:

@@jamesthe-doctor8981 that is some very excellent points that you have! In fact it's some of the points we also have. Getting a POV, Point of View, angle while making a LIVE video is easier said than done. We appreciate this amazing feedback that you have so kindly shared with us. We will certainly take it and apply it the best we can.
Sorry, couldn't see the cuts that you were emphasizing because the camera didn't zoom in. It was too far away.
Hopefully you were able to see it when he showed it later. Zooming in to close makes it hard because he moves around to quickly.
@@SpringfieldLeather Thank you!
Sorry was mesmerized by Liz's eyes ..........could you start over :)
Aye she's Bonnie lass . ;)
BORING!!
Thanks for the feedback.
