Several years ago when I was watching Doug Knoel work on my Rolling Block and getting started with black powder cartridge/muzzle loading I noticed his de-capper. He said he made them and I asked if I could get one when he had a chance to make up some more. His health is pretty bad now days and when I got a telephone call this past Wednesday with him saying he had one for me I was very happy! Went and got it today and I am honored to be the owner of one of these now and hopefully will put it to good use!

absolutely nothing compares with a small treasure from a friend that is useful also. I have a copy of the old "pope" style...actually 3 of them...and I thoroughly enjoy the action when in use and enjoy the old timey way it makes me feel as I use them for de-priming and priming again...even tho it is slow as far as modern production priming devises...these old time style things add to the fun and feel of doing what we do.

congrats and I for 1 would like to see a photo of your new de-capper.
