Found this on eBay and the price was too good to pass up for well under $100 shipped i had to have it. Tried it out on some brick tobacco and works like a charm!

Wessex Gold Brick is a good choice to try it out on. Nice score. I had been looking at those, but was afraid it would become a huge restoration project that I don't have time to do. Nice to know that this one worked right off the bat.

Yes I’m pretty sure it was restored at some point but by restored i mean 3 coats of paint over the old coats of paint and some new nuts and bolts that were a little too long but fit. That being said it works like a charm, no rust or squeaks from the spring and the blade is sharp. For like $88 it’s a win in my books.

That is pretty cool. Great find.

Thanks, i don't really smoke any brick tobacco (I have about 10 cubes of the Wessex but never tried it but now that i can easily slice it I'm in like Flint!) Usually they are much more expensive and sometimes they are more expensive and a huge restoration project.

Gold Brick should get the special treatment for certain! 3P’s or Salty Dogs would be a true test, I love a tool that works as it should.

Nice score! I've often come close to pulling the trigger on one, but my Opinel kept giving me the evil-eye.........

I don't know which AD this is flaring up but it's flaring something up. Love it.

 

[AJL67]

Man you can really get nice thin cuts.

That is a great find. I've wanted to add a cutter to my collection for blends like Gold Brick. Congrats man

Great find - well done!
Good to know that it went to someone that will actually use instead of putting it on a shelf as a decoration!

I've discovered i have a love for Wessex Gold Brick might have to look for some other plugs, i think i have some F&T Virginia Plug, might be cut plug though, I'll have to dig through the stacks.

Should be good for rope also.

Gold Brick is phenomenal tobacco. I was surprised that it got such mediocre reviews on TR.

Love the cutter. I picked up a Rams Horn cutter and restored it. It was a bery time consuming project.

stock in other people's tastes. Just found some in stock and picked up another few bricks.

I had a large Star cutter similar to that. It did an OK job.



I got a Yankee Slicer. Does a much better job in my opinion. It’s a bypass cutter.

Super cool. I enjoy plugs and bricks, but not the inconvenience of slicing them with one of my wives precious culinary knives LOL. This is just what the doctor ordered.
