Hardcase Hardin Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I've seen them referenced and I've seen them used in videos, Dang It Dan even uses em to eat his canned fruit (HawkeyeGin's playlist). But I haven't seen any of our usual CAS retailers carry them. So, where do I get one, or does everyone just make one themselves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imis Twohofon,SASS # 46646 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Yep, they pricey,BUT the quality is extraordinary. And they look great. Mine has an eagle head, the sheath has a tab to attach to whatever you choose. I have mine attached to my strong side holster right in front of the hammer . Real quick access. And they are great folks Imis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you raise a lifter on a '73 prior to staging they are perfect for pushing it back down so the rifle doesn't lock up. Mine was a gift from a Buckaroo I helped get started but after seeing how handy they are I would definitely buy one. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Muerto Negro Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have one looks great and works. But if you wanted you coukd take a screwdriver bit and put into a piece of brass. Cheap and works. EMN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddog Nobiscuit #46532 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Or take a stainless dinner/butter knife, use hacksaw & files to shorten/shape the blade and handle. Cheap and a fun project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BartEnder Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I took an old pair of scissors, trimmed and shaped them, and made some handles out of scrap wood. Works well for stuck cases, I also have a magnetic bit holder in a case at the 6 o’clock position in my belt, but haven’t had to use it. My screw knife looks a bit rough, but I wanted something that looked like a purpose built tool a cowboy may have created himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slow Mo Dern Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 Hi Hardcase, What Seamus said: Ya want the best, ya gotta pay for the best. I tried all the cheap imitations. I finally got the Redwing screw knife from Mernickle and got the scabbard that loops on the gun-belt. It is well worth the money! It is not only functional, it is one good looking little tool! It's beautiful! Get the real thing, it'll pay for itself in no time. Mo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I have an old Marbles Electricians screwdriver/knife that's come in very handy several times when shooting.... folded its only about 2 1/2" long and its really well made.

That's just the sort of thing I go for. I have a kit knife I got from Wilderness Outfitters (Dave Canterbury) last year, Simple, solid and rugged wearing & looking. A couple minutes on the grinder (with a cup of water handy for quenching) and that'd make a dandy belt tool. I got a bud that can make me a nice sheath for it too, prolly cost more than the knife!

CodyMaverick Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 The screw knife I have was a very nice decoration on my gun belt but not very practical. After using it to bugger up a couple of soft Uberti screw heads, I sent my favorite Grace gunsmith screwdriver to my leather craftsman and had a sheath made for it.

Since you were involved in the Frontiersman threads lately and if you are not completely hell-bent on carrying the screwdriver on your body, then check this out. I carry one of these in my cart in case I need a screwdriver or if I need to change out a nipple. https://www.badmanbullets.com/cowboygunparts.com/X-handle-screwdriver.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one for Wildbunch has a 1911 bushing wrench on one end and the screwdriver on the other.
