Looking for a set of Color Changing Knives. I've been using the Mogar Stag set... and really enjoy them. I've heard Joe is going through a tough time and orders are hard to fill right now. Most shops are "Out of Stock" on the 3 knife stag set. Is there another Manufacturer/shop that has a good set? Suggestions welcomed and needed!
Thanks! |

I was also considering a colour changing knife set and read some good things here on the cage about Joe's knives, am I correct in thinking that you have actually tried to order a set from Joe and been informed that there is a long wait ?

I also noticed that virtually every Online supplier is "Out of Stock". I'm going to try to give Joe a call, his knives are Outstanding. But I would like to explore other options as well. I understand Rodger Lovins has a new set coming out in the Fall that will fit the bill. |

Thanks for getting back to me, perhaps you could keep us updated via this thread as I would be interested to know what's happening with Joe or possibly Rodger's set if nothing comes through with Joe.

Actually, I just got off the phone with Joe. What a nice guy! He's catching up on some orders... and said it would take about 2 weeks for my order. I made the order and am excited to start working with the new set when they arrive. I'll keep you updated.

Check out Rodger Lovins knives. Best I've ever owned.

Also can anyone comment on the Merrill knives as I've read good things about them ? |

The flat profile is superior to me based only on a tactile preference.

I ordered "Miracle Perfect Knive " from Joe Mogar.
I waited a while until they arrived (six weeks, from USA to Germany). Longer than expected. I know now why Joe wrote me why it took so long (private matter). Because I've been waiting so long, Joe sent me the free gifts: - Cameleon Knives DVD - perfect ace knife ( photo 2) - extra small purse What can I say, the knives are absolutely perfect. I have not had better and beautiful knives in my hands. And the "Master Twist" with Mogar's knife works almost automatically. I can only recommend Mogar's knives, they are so, so good. Photo:  |

I was very lucky and managed to pick up a 4 knife stag set made by Joe second hand today for roughly half price and it also saved me the cost of import tax so I'm a happy man

Stay clear of the Scott York Knives, they discolor after light use.
One of the last living 10-in-one performers. I wanted to be in show business the worst way, and that was it.

I started with the Imperial knife set many years ago and still use them to this day. The price was great and still is and the knives are more than adequate as far as quality for a magician.

I started with a set of Ed Drane ('Enardoe") knives in the early '50s. They still work fine. Back then Jimmy Sanders made great CCKs, but my "$2.00 set of Enardoes are still working just fine. I think that I paid $2.00 for them!

My Scotty York knives show a little discoloration but they are 20 years old and do look like a real knife. Probably because he made them from knives he purchased at a gas station.

Andymo85 did the knives you ordered come from Joe as expected? Are Joe's knives still the best? I see almost a year after this post started most places are still listing Joe's knives as "out of stock" Im looking to buy a set but really only want to buy 1 set and so I'm on a hunt for the best knives I can find,
   Magic is all around us we just have to be willing to see it.

I make my own sets by gluing together two disposable cutter blades knives.
one side is left blank and the other is painted with a sharpie marker then I apply a coat of varnish or more recently hot glue to give it a distinctive texure. pm me if interested in more details VG |
