Product description
What’s included: Two non-powered leather trimming tools plus a simple oxford storage bag. The set is intended specifically for leather edge trimming, skiving and round cutting tasks.
Materials and finish: Both cutters are manufactured from manganese steel for durable edges and good wear resistance. Each blade is honed at the factory to provide immediate cutting performance and smooth skiving action.
Sizes and weight: The pair includes one cutter sized 6.30 x 1.50 x 0.08 inches (approx. 1.76 oz) and a slimmer option at 6.30 x 0.67 x 0.08 inches (approx. 1.19 oz). They are lightweight for fine hand control during detailed leatherwork.
How to use: These are hand tools for leathercraft—use them for trimming edge strips, shaving down thickness, and creating rounded edges. They are not powered tools; sharpening and occasional filing or honing will maintain performance. The oxford bag stores both tools securely for travel or bench organization.
Pros
- Sharp factory edge ready for use
- Durable manganese steel construction
- Two complementary sizes for varied tasks
Cons
- Carrying pouch is basic
- Handles feel thin for large hands
- May require minor filing for custom grinds
VerdictThese manual skiving cutters deliver sharp, precise cuts for trimming and thinning leather. Constructed from manganese steel, the two sizes cover a range of edge and round cutting needs and come ready to use. The supplied oxford pouch keeps the tools together for transport, though some users may prefer beefier handles. Overall a practical kit for hobbyists and pros who need lightweight, dependable

Performs well
Blades are sharp and easy to hone. Grips are somewhat flat and thin, which can be awkward for very large hands.

Good value with a tweak
Solid purchase. Needed a bit of filing — they come with a V grind, so I flattened one side for edge trimming.

Extremely sharp and handy
The cutters are a comfortable size and incredibly sharp. They slice leather trim and edges cleanly and handle most tasks. The pouch feels a bit flimsy but doesn't affect use. Highly recommended.

Did the job

Ready to use out of the case
I usually strop new blades, but tried these straight from the pouch. They cut cleanly and feel well polished; I expect they will keep their edge.

Disappointing compared to scissors
Even my old dull paper scissors produced cleaner cuts than these knives did for me.
