Craft Knife Hardware Kits

[PersonMakeObject]

Good Day!

I have wrapped up a batch of 160 of Craft Knife Hardware Kits. I am making this hardware from scratch on a little Unimat Lathe/Mill in my basement shop.

The kit itself is pretty simple: A slotted blade holder has a tang that gets epoxied into a hole plus a ferrule that fits over the holder and a shoulder turned on the end of the handle. These are designed specifically to hold blades made by Swann-Morton, but they also hold the larger style of x-acto type blades securely. All sorts of shapes and materials are possible for handles, I've seen some scenic casts, hybrids, and burls from folks who bought kits that have really piqued my interest in what others will make.

I opened up a storefront and have listed them on Etsy. They're a bit cheaper on the "Big Cartel" shop due to reduced seller fees.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for supporting my making and happy turning!

Best Regards,
Kevin from PersonMakeObject

Do the kits come with blades? Want to get a couple to try out and as gifts. Makes a better gift if it has blades to go with it.

I ordered two and two sets of blades. I forgot to include the blades with the 10 and 11mm set, so I ordered them separately. If you wish to include them together to save postage, please do.

Hi Jay,

I include 3) #01 and 3) #03 blades with each holder if you order from https://www.etsy.com/listing/874432323/

You can specify the number of each blade if you order from
