Electrum head knife7/16/2023 Remember that feel, because it won't be that way in a week, and maybe not in an hour. I think that the original post about buying a sharp one ready to go is a good idea. MY anecdotal impression is that the Clydes go a while longer than the CSO before the need to strop and sharpen.īrings me to my thoughts on buying a knife. I batch my sharpening, use a knife for a while, grab another, until I have a few to sharpen. I have a few old Clydes, and they are my favorites. Isn't the TLF price 90 something? I have a CSO knife. TLF used to carry a more complete line of CSO tools, but have scaled back. The #70 CSO knife is $35.95 from Siegels website, it has been at that price for a while. I can't answer how companies price the same goods. If really on a budget, three utility knives of varying sharpness from out of the box to scary is a good choice. If I were on a budget, I could get by easily with a Scalpel, Utility Knife, and Clicker Knife and stay under $50. If you are lucky enough to get a Buchman, don't expect exotic handles, there is Black Walnut and maybe if you are lucky Black Walnut. Also it may be harder to find the smaller handles if you like to "palm" the knife. For serious leather cutting, you need to at very least strop these blades.īill Buchman is over 70 now and doesn't take new customers, Big Sky Tool and Die might still handle them but you may have a hard time getting the X versions which are not in his regular lineup. You do really need to sharpen them for serious work but for general stuff the blades work out of the box. Last but not least the Utility knife, the only knife you can do most anything with. The old skiver tried and true and indispensable. Here is a picture of a Don Carlos (I couldn't find my DC head knife that looks somewhat like a cleaver) straight (sorta) Knife, A Clicker knife (Blue Handle) which works on everything if you keep it sharp, this thing and a Utility knife could get you through your leather career, and last but not least the surgical scalpel (No.10 on this one). It is a little smaller so it is better than the big knives around curves. This is a knife made by Duey Peters and is quite good, sharp as hell out of the box and around $60. Nice knife but needs work out of the box.Īnd of course this is the CSO Round Knife dull as a piece of straw out of the box. This is the standard CSO Head Knife that has been around for years, and so has this one. The BXV2 is a very small knife Bill also made for Verlane and is great for tight places, sometimes you just have to have a knife like this. The BBXV is a pattern that Bill made for Verlane Desgrange, a long tail oval knife with a small handle for palming. The BBX3 is another head knife that is smaller with a smaller handle, you can "palm" this knife easily and it turns easier. The BBX1 is a little skiving knife with a larger handle that I use as much as the BB6. The BB6 is a large head knife that I use a lot especially for long straight cuts. Listed below are the crafts and Leve quests along with the items needed and the material requirements to make them.I'll show and tell with about half of what I have. (Example: 3 Iron ores to make the Iron Ingot) Crafters want to enjoy the game too and this adds more time and takes away from their enjoyment. :-p For a level 60 crafter NQ items are fine.īe respectful and don’t expect the others to drop what their doing to craft up stuff for you, it may take a bit of time but people in the FC will help ya.Īs an upside down note: Please don’t get the base materials to be crafted into the required materials to make the crafted item. Now your probably saying to yourself again “but Gungii HQ materials are expensive”, hehehe you really should get the talking to yourself looked at. You can ask other crafters in the FC for help in making the HQ items for the leve quests and provide them the materials needed for crafting the items. Leve points regenerate 3 per every 12 hours (earth time). While not required it would help to start off with 100 leve points. One big requirement is you need to unlock the Levemete’s in each zone, so you’ll need to have leveled a combat class to 50 to unlock them.įor every 5 levels you will be using around 10-12 leve points, so to level 1 craft to 50 your looking at about 40-45 points used depending on the crafting job your leveling. The only thing you’ll need is alot of crystal shards, so if you have your gathering jobs up to at least level 10 you can farm crystal shards and save yourself gil. This guide is for crafting HQ items for Leve quests 30 – 45 that yield the highest experience points for leveling a craft to 50.Īt this point your saying to yourself “but Gungii what about 1 – 30”, well thems is the easy levels in a sense, most materials you can buy from vendors cheap. Greetings y’all and hello to all you dang tall crafters.
