where's a good leather apron?

[tmickley]

I've done a google but can't seem to find a good quality leather apron for the shop. I'd like one that would at least slow down a knife when it gets tossed by the buffer.

weld supply store might have what you want.

Baily's has the kevlar chaps but no apron.

Putting a chunk of 2X or plywood directly (and fastening it securely) in back of the buff will "help" keep those knifes from being thrown. Rubber mat on the floor ain't a bad idea either.

Centaur is expensive, though.....

I have a Kenny Rowe apron and it's nice, now if I could just remember to wear it

I would like to see a "Kenny Rowe" apron, and also know what cost is... I've been wanting to find a good apron myself lately....

Call "Morty The Knife Man". He's in the back of the Knives annuals, and sells a leather apron that has a chainmail like layer in the middle. Meant to stop a flying knife.
