Default Single Dockyard Micro Tools

I wanted to let all you Dockyard Micro Tool users know I found a place to buy single V and U gounges. There's a man in Florida, Richard Watson, Quality Carving Supplies, that sells them individually for $9.00 a piece. His website address is www.qualitycarvingsupplies.com

I bought three V gounges from him, one was razor sharp, the other two weren't. I told him, he said send them back and he'd send me out two new ones. When I got them they were sharper but not sharp enough. I was concerned there was a problem until I read the thread on here about others of you getting Micro Tools that weren't sharp and how they had to be stoned or stropped to make them so. I stropped those two really good and they are perfect.

Figured, if you are like me, you might be happy to know you can pick up the ones you want without paying for extras that you never use! Callynne
