Gioia Report post Posted June 28, 2022 I need to purchase a new or good(used) skiver for myself. Hopefully one that's been regularly serviced. I've owned a fortuna skiver for a few years many years ago( purchased from Hoffman Brothers in Illinois) and later a Chinese model which wasn't the greatest. It may have been me. I need to skiver alligator skin. I've been hand skiving it for over a year, and it is just too painful time wise.I am located in Bridgeport, Ct., USA . My email is bagstudio@aol.com.Thank you for your time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shoepatcher Report post Posted July 1, 2022 I would contact Hoffman Brothers again and see what they have. Also contact Campbell-Boswell in Texas. They deal in a lot of types of leather machinery as well. glenn Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
