They are easy enuf to get here in UK

I used to use a lot of them but I never considered using them on leather. I must re-think that

Seems like I got them at Home Depot or Lowe’s but they had to hunt.

Used these exclusively at my old job opening telco and fiber optic cables.

One word of caution, they can cut you to the bone and beyond.

I finally got the proverbial out and bought some of these hook blades this morning and in the afternoon used one to do some rough out cutting of some pieces in thin leather. I think I now prefer this blade to a standard one for that use. I could slide the blunt outside part of the hook on my table and just pull the blade through the leather, the leather being lifted off the table a bit by the hook shape

In my almost favourite box-cutter type knife

Great for rough-out cutting of pattern pieces from a large hide, to get more manageable sized pieces for proper trimming
