Has anyone tried one of these carpet cutters for cutting leather ? Its meant for carpets and floor lino so it should cut thru leather like the proverbial hot knife

Obviously not for detail cutting but for roughing out maybe.

It looks to be a giant version of the safety cutters used by scrap-bookers for cutting paper or the ones you use for cutting wrapping paper at Christmas time

It appears to use a 2-hole box cutter type blade. 

In use, the material is lifted off the working surface along which the cutter is run. So cutting above the surface will save your cutting mat or table top. In fact you could cut the material anywhere, anytime without having to have a cutting mat down

Interesting cutter, never seen one before. I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I think I might buy one and try it. They are cheap enough. One problem I foresee is replacement blades; I can't seem to find any like the one fitted

Although it looks nasty the way the point of the blade is right up to the grip hole the blade actually sits in a recess

Ahh, yes, now you mention it all of my cutter blades like that have locating notches, not holes so wouldn't fit.
