Why Choose the Japanese Style Head Knife?

This head knife is favored for its versatility and ease of use compared to traditional round knives, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced leatherworkers. Its wide blade span allows you to follow cutting lines smoothly, while the sharp edge ensures clean cuts that enhance the quality and finish of your leather projects. Whether you’re crafting wallets, belts, bags, or upholstery, this tool helps you achieve professional results with less effort.

Usage Tips:

  • For straight cuts, place leather on a cutting board, hold the knife firmly, and push forward with the blade angled slightly for a slicing motion.
  • To cut curves, rotate the leather while maintaining steady pressure, adjusting the blade angle for tighter curves.
  • For skiving, hold the knife at an angle against a hard surface and apply firm, even pressure to thin leather edges.
  • Always cut away from your body and keep fingers clear of the blade path for safety.

Elevate your leatherworking toolkit with the Japanese Style Head Knife, where traditional craftsmanship meets modern precision.
