Leather Skiving Knife with Wooden Handle - Leather Edging Tool for DIY Leathercraft Cutting

This tool came extremely sharp, however after a few minutes stropping it's now scarily sharp. Skives with ease even on very thin leather. The only modifcation I made was to sand the handle flatter on the side that makes contact with the leather/cutting mat. This enables me to skive easier as there is a lower angle when skiving. This also functions well as a general leather cutter also. For this price I was very impressed. It feels well in the hand and looks pretty cool also. Nice!

Excellent quality & super sharp.

The skiving knife is very sharp and comfortable in the hand. It looks well made and would last for quite a while. I was able to cut through several inches of leather with no problems. Be careful when using on a cutting mat as it is very sharp. I mistakenly tried cutting leather on a wood frame and now the frame has a gapping slit in it. I would recommend it and also getting me a spare.

Good price, nicely made, one star off because it needed sharpening, edge was quite rough but after a sharpen and hone it's great!

An excellent skiving and leather cutting knife, very good steel and easily sharpened.

I bought this expecting it to be quite blunt and with the intent of sharpening it up myself. I'll warn people, blunt would suggest it had some cutting ability and this would have struggled to cut fresh bread. The metal itself also wasn't machined super well which caused issues on sharpening (I had to actually get the edge ground down as it was bowed). I think this is one where you might get lucky and get one that's been machined pretty well and you can just work from there to create an actual sharp edge or you get unlucky like me. That being said, you get what you pay for. Not bad, not good, but able to be decent if you put a bit of work.

Used it a bit and then I sharpened it and it went from eh this is alright to omg what did I do, this tool is amazing

Good
