thanks for the heads up Hunter, I may get me a pack.

I like the 5 or 6" better, but $5 bucks for 25... 2-1/2 " is a deal.

Just bought a pack, thanks for the tip.

FYI, I just bought the last one from that offering. Thanks for the heads up Hunter.

Great, just saw the message that there was one left....cool.
I use those all the time for canvas, leather, webbed strapping.

May put some out on the trade blanket at Rondy.

I see now she has 3" needles for 9.99.

2 3/4 inch sail needles available again: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-from-Old...item1c40396aa0
$5 + $2 shipping

I got my pack from the last order, good deal all around.

[hunter63]

I spread some out into all the BOB's hunting packs, travel bags, and Rondy gear....
May have some out on the trade blanket at Rendezvous.

Used one already to patch a zipper on my "travel bag"....standard bag with PSK, FAK and other get home and cover your butt goodies.

Check out your local Walmart! I bought 2 packs for $3.00 each. The largest needle is about 4 inches long. You get about 5 needles per pack.

[hunter63]

Thanks I'll check it out.....round or 3 sided?

[ottawafm]

They were round.

[hunter63]

I like 3 sided (chisel points) or flattened points for leather, makes >- type hole.....leather will pull the flaps in.

Hard to find......

I see that they are still available (after a year)....little shorter than I like....but do work.
