Title: blades
Post by: jayman448 on January 21, 2016, 05:36:15 am

were the blades that come off of blade cores ever mounted on a handle like the rest of the blades we make or were they just kinda used real carefully like razor blades off a box cutter?

just guessing, but they were probably just held with leather at the base for use.

perhaps the handle area was dulled a little?
