bruce johnson Report post Posted March 12, 2010 It depends on how much you plan to use it, what kind of leather, and how much you want to spend. If I could only have one or was buying new - it would the be the Keystone from Campbell Randall. It is a twist handle model like the Osborne 84. That style is the most versatile. I like splitters a lot, and here's a link to some of the oldies I have and some explanations of them - Old Splitters Each of these kind of have a special area they shine. If I could only have one it would be the Krebs style I guess. Second would be a Chase. Third would be a crank skiver for laps or a Spittler or twist handle for longer laps.
