Has any body used or know of anyone who has used the Round Blade Knife No.70 from osborne & co? if so is it a good blade to use?
Or do you know an alternative round blade which is small 4.5 - 5" in width? preferably from the uk or a European supplier?
Thanks in advance.
I don't have any experience with the Osborne knife, but in the UK I know that abbey England sell a solingen round knife. I have also seen a Pfeil round knife on European websites, they are well known for woodcarving tools so the steel is probably decent.
Blanchard is also an option, although there are some mixed reviews about the steel that they use currently (Non-HSS steel, the HSS knives are excellent) Ebay will probably have some second hand options from older makers And if you're really looking for custom there are probably a number of blacksmiths or tools makers on Instagram that could help out, although almost certainly with a high price tag.
