Just get yourself a standard utility knife to start. Here's a link to the model I have. http://smile.amazon.com/Stanley-Quick-Change-Utility-Stainless-Retractable/dp/B000051WTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1412169673&sr=8-1&keywords=stanley+utility+knife

If you have any questions about leather working, shoot me a PM. Btw, if you're doing lots and lots of cutting someday, then you'll want to pick up a head knife, but for the volume of cutting you'll be doing, a cheap knife will be perfect.

Anytime brother.

Not actually a cutting instrument, nor something I carry around, but a very cool vintage piece. My father bought it in France for me.

Had the scale slimmed down so that it would be similar in thickness to the lock side. Turned out beautiful

Does anyone have any experience with Medford knives?  I'm just asking because a little birdie told me I may be getting a TFF-4 for Christmas.

Just got this beauty last night from my girlfriend:

Splendid!

I dont know the brand, but it looks well made. The blade to handle ratio are consistent with what I'm into as well. Good grinds, framelock, and nice angles making me want to check one out someday.

^^ Its Medford Knife & Tool
They make some very heavy duty blades (fixed and fold). I love the Praetorian and Micro Praetorian. Badass lookin folder
