Steel!
Hello All:

Much of the following is at the web site as well and, as a short cut to
reading all this verbiage you can go right to:

The main information page with pictures:
http://www.kcwtw.com/sshaveshtm/shavespg.html
or the other information page with pricing
http://www.kcwtw.com/sshaveshtm/shvtxt.htm
or (my favorite) the Order Form:  http://www.kcwtw.com/ordforms/ordform.html

All the pages are new on the web site so please refresh.  The new index is:
http://www.kcwtw.com/I'll also be adding some new pages with the shaves in use
in a couple days
and I have some much better close-ups of the blades coming so please check
back a  couple days.

The Important KCWTW Spokeshave Facts:

The blades are made of A2 steel, they are very flat and will require just a
little dressing to make them ready for use. The better edge holding ability
of this steel makes it possible to grind a shallower bezel; they produce
very fine
shavings.

The (larger) "Standard" size is designed to be interchangeable with existing
blades made by Ron Hock or Conover. The blades will thus fit stocks made by
Conover or Dave Wachnicki or John Gunterman or any stocks made from their
designs.
The small blade is the same size as the one made by Ron Hock and so should
also fit any stock (Wachnicki or Gunterman) made for that blade.

Pricing:
I have worked very hard to get the costs on these things down as much as
possible in order to make the price competitive. The Conover replacement
blades are much less expensive but there is a big difference in both
material and finish quality. All prices include standard First Class U.S.
postage.
All prices in U.S. currency.  If you need blades shipped out of the North
America please
contact me via e-mail.

Standard Spoke Shave Blade - A2 Steel: 4 1/2" x 1/2" x 1/8" in thickness
(cutting edge 2 3/4"); includes two (mounted) threaded tang studs and two
brass
knurled nuts: $26.00

Small Spoke Shave Blade - A2 Steel: 2 1/2:" x 7/16" x 3/32" in thickness
(cutting edge 1 1/2"); includes two (mounted) threaded tang studs and two
brass
knurled nuts: $20.00

////I'm offering an introductory discount for the folks on the oldtools
mailing list.
This will probably be up for just a short time.////

Some of you will want both sizes and some might want to make shaves for
both flat and radius work so I'll reduce the price a little for multiples:
We will discount a standard and small ordered together by $5.00, or
$41.00; a pair of the large would be discounted to $47.00, saving $5.00; a
pair of
the small, $35.00, also saving $5.00.

Terms:
As usual don't send a check until I ask for it.  Please fill out the order
form
at: http://www.kcwtw.com/ordforms/ordform.html
or e-mail me directly at: kbrennan@u...

Those who have dealt with me in the past know I never deposit checks until
I actually ship (at least, that is my policy with list members).

Thanks!
