Leather Cutting & Skiving Knife – D2 Steel Blade.

Elevate your leathercraft precision with our Leather Cutting and Skiving Knife, featuring a razor-sharp D2 steel blade renowned for exceptional edge retention and durability. Engineered for both cutting and skiving tasks, this knife ensures clean, controlled cuts and seamless edge thinning across all leather thicknesses.

Key Features:

  • D2 Tool Steel Blade: High-carbon, high-chromium composition delivers superior wear resistance and long-lasting sharpness, ideal for demanding leatherwork.
  • Multi-Functional Design: Perfect for cutting patterns, skiving edges, and thinning leather for folds or seams, reducing the need for multiple tools.
  • Ergonomic Handle: Contoured for comfort during prolonged use, minimizing hand strain and maximizing control.
  • Easy Maintenance: Holds an edge longer than standard steels, requiring less frequent sharpening, and responds well to stropping.
  • Versatile Performance: Tackles thick veg-tan leather, delicate chrome-tan hides, and everything in between without tearing or fraying.

Why D2 Steel?
D2 steel’s 55–62 HRC hardness ensures unmatched edge retention, while its chromium content provides mild corrosion resistance. Though sharpening requires effort (due to its wear-resistant properties), the blade’s longevity and cutting precision make it a favorite among professional leatherworkers.

Ideal For:

  • Skiving: Thin edges smoothly for seamless joins or folded hems.
  • Pattern Cutting: Achieve clean, accurate cuts for wallets, bags, and accessories.
  • Detail Work: Execute precise trimming on straps, inlays, or decorative elements.

Technical Specs:

  • Blade Material: D2 tool steel
  • Edge Type: Single-bevel (sharpened on one side for controlled skiving)
  • Handle: Ergonomic hardwood or composite
  • Use: Cutting, skiving, bevelling

Upgrade your toolkit with a blade built to last-where industrial-grade steel meets artisan craftsmanship.
