Fortuna Bell Knife Skiver, on modern table.

Recommended Posts

Hi

I have a working Fortuna Skiver, pictured below.


Can anyone tell me anything about its age please? It is labelled "Fortuna New York" and L F 15240

The mechanism for setting the roller is "interesting" to say the least, and it workd well on thick leathers that are narrower than teh roller, as a splitter, but I would love to get a manual to use it effectively as a skiver.
Any knowledge sharing would be really appreciated.

I am also keen to get a different length guide.
Thank you
H
