New Artisan Made Swivel Knives

These knives are hand fabricated using manual machines. Each one is unique. They are made from stainless steel and flame colored individually. The yokes are individually fabricated in two pieces (not cast) from solid bronze, each one having two instrument bearings for stability. The knurling is exceptional.

I have these knife barrels available. I Also have 1/4″ and 3/8″ blades in stock. Venmo or PayPal Friends and Family works well. Text or message me with the number of the knife before payment to make sure I still have it available. These barrels will fit any 7/16″ blade post.

Plans of Procedure

Plans of Procedure

When Starting out as a full time saddle maker, I kept a plan of procedure for each of the various rigging types that I was called on to build.  These plans were constantly being updated as I proceeded from saddle to saddle.  Here are some of the documents that I worked up back then.  I don't do things exactly like this now, and in some cases have changed things quite a bit.  My hope is that these might be helpful to some of you just starting out, and that they may provide a guide to your own note taking.  When I was building mostly contract saddles this approach really helped to develop efficiency and speed in my workflow.

The fourth PDF here is a copy of the notes I made when teaching other makers to build the hunting saddles that we were contracted to produce.
