Ivan Free Hand Stitching Groover.

1mm (3/64") Groove Width, 20mm (3/4") Blade.

Create clean, consistent stitching grooves with confidence using the Ivan Free Hand Stitching Groover, a must-have tool for any leathercrafter who values precision and control. Designed for freehand use, this groover gives you the flexibility to carve neat stitch channels along curves, corners, and irregular shapes where fixed guides may fall short.

The tool features a sharp, 20mm (3/4") steel blade that cuts a narrow groove approximately 1mm (3/64") wide, ideal for embedding stitching lines just below the leather surface. This helps to protect your thread from abrasion while also giving your hand stitching a professional, recessed look. Whether you're working on belts, wallets, holsters, or curved bag flaps, this groover lets you follow your own path with accuracy and control.

The hardened steel blade is precisely angled for smooth, efficient cutting through vegetable-tanned and other firm leathers. Its compact size and streamlined tip make it easy to guide along tight radii or around design details. The tool is fitted with a contoured hardwood handle, offering a comfortable grip and excellent maneuverability for long sessions at the bench.
