BTW...I meant "Arford" in my previous post. Page 32, item 165-A if you have their catalog. The other tools on that page are circular welt knives.

Oh yes, that is what I am looking for! I saw this pic almost everyday!

Oops...I guess I have to backtrack a bit. The Arford catalogue price sheet says that the 165-A is not available. [Sorry...I just got their catalogue last week and haven't looked at everything.]

The circular welt knives are still available but seem to be in limited stock. You can find these as vintage on Ebay fairly often, hwoever.

And if worse comes to worse you can always use a "safety welt knife"...page 33 item 166.

Not bad for looking like U last, since I like the look of a U last shoe but it doesn't fit me well.
