James: I have been using the same No. 2 blade for almost a year. The tip is still on it so it is still in use. I hone the blade every time I use it on my strop with white compound. A few passes keeps the 'disposable' blade sharp. Also, shown nowhere on the packaging, Eric has said on some of his videos that you can take off the nut and clutch, add a length of brass wire or solid steel rod inside the handle and then reassemble the knife holder. He designed it so you can add more weight to the handle if preferred. He has spent years perfecting this design. I bought one as soon as they went on sale. Also, the standard clear plastic blade protector for other No. 2 handles works perfectly with this brass knife. I like covering the blade. Protects both of us.
The weight is appealing to me. I have 4 Xacto knives on standby for classes. Tnanks to you James I am again considering getting the brass version from Bucjkle Guy. Enjoy your video. Cheers...Freddie
I want that knife it looks great 👍🏻 and brass is brass just love it , i hope they start sell then in europé, i know a leatherstore in dk have start selling buckleguy items i hope he Will sell the tools soon , and thx for great video , best regards Jonas /sweden
Not at all, SDI is definitely a wonderful option at that entry price range! In fact, my SDI knife is often the first one I grab since I store all my other more expensive knives in a drawer, while the SDI knife is just laying around on the work bench... Makes no sense :'D

I have been trying to scour your videos to see if you mention it, but could you please recommend the neoprene adhesive you use in your builds?
Hi James! Do you know of any distributors/webshops for EU and UK customers who'd want to pick one up?
Will you forget SDI stuff ? :)
