Tru Center taper tool: replacement blades?
« on: December 12, 2012, 07:21:00 PM »
Looking for some for the "old" model. Bought one a few months ago, and no one seems to have replacement blades. 3Rivers has them on the website, but I called and was told they're not offering them any longer. Any suggestions?

The company that made the old slotted blades for them went out of business, that was one of the reasons for the V2 was to change to the new blades that were available.  They are still selling some of the old bodies on their site that have been modified for the newer blades.  But as for old blades, unless someone has some in a tackle box, they are no more.

Do you have the old blades? Can you sharpen them?

Benjy, I do have the original blades... I guess sharpening them is my only option.

Give Mike a call at The Nocking Point. That's where I get mine.
