Yes. I made a repair to a saddle a couple of weeks ago. Still got an assortment of sailmakers needles. We had a canvas business in our town until the owner retired about 20 years ago. He had been an apprentice sailmaker on the *Grace Havar, a Cape Horner in the last grain race.

Still have one in my ditty bag. Useful when sewing a whipping on a splice.

I used one not too long ago, but I’m also a blow boater in my spare time.

Here’s mine. I use it regularly eg whipping braided cordage which is preferable to the more routine butane backsplice.

Mmmmmm. I should also get some cream on those hands.

Got one in my ditty bag! Even better, it is a left-handed palm.
