Members Pan5N3 Posted January 13 Members Report Posted January 13 Sounds like you want an English pairing knife. These are common in book building / binding. You may be able to find a local provider but if not, you can try the link SixAB provided or the on below. The don't mention shipping to the US, but they are only $22 CAD, which is about $16 USD. https://georgehigllco.com/leather-paring-knife-english Quote
AEBL Posted January 13 Author Report Posted January 13 Hey, thanks for the feedback folks! Looks like there's lots of options out there. I've been watching a lot of YT vids of Asian bag makers (Navico, Hahn's Atelier, Bitchen, KKomeda). They make the Japanese leather knife look like such a natural tool. Also appreciate the English paring knife - sometimes just knowing what a thing is called helps to find it. Quote

That said, I'm not opposed to buying something like that. Check out talasonline.com. It's a book binding website, but they have leather tools, including an assortment of decent skiving knives for decent prices. They also have good deals on bone folders. Quote
