Good deal Tim I think ya'll like that stuff.
To all:
I just ordered a hydroma cutting board from Induscousa.com - you'll have to phone it in 800-347-4472. They sell the red-brown hydroma cutting board that Dave recommended in 1/2" and 1" thicknesses. The 1/2" thickness is 11 cents/sf while the 1" thickness is 21 cents/sf. I ordered a 1/2" thick board, 15" x 20" and it cost me $32 plus shipping. The Tandy Leather version is 12" x 12" x 1" and retails for $59.99 - the same size/thickness board from Induscousa.com is $30.24!!
What a wonderful idea! Thank you for sharing. I just received my first and only head knife, an inexpensive Tandy thing. It has a secondary bevel at about 16 degrees per side, something I think I will change when time allows.
I am also ordering a hydroma cutting board (18 x 24) and wonder if that is good or should I get a smaller/ larger one.
With such high praises, how could I resist? So, how about it gents?Yep! 6 stars out of 5 for Tim's knife and I also need to mention Dave's AEBL skiving knife, now in it's third year of use. Same story, it's the best one I have ever picked up. Design, sharpness, accuracy, all the best. 6 out of 5 stars there too! My continuing thanks to both makers. If they ever do wear out (not likely) I'll sure be in line for more. Do yourself a favor and see if you can talk these two into making one for you.
Dave Ferry is the master...has great round knives that he and his wife use constantly.Check out horsewright stuff/thread about round knives, there was also a pass around.
