Renana Report post Posted February 27, 2012 Hi I am searching for a leathercraft tool (that has been used in the manual shoe making industry). - I have seen it before with me old shoe master. It is an edge cutter, used to cut the remaining of the outter sole of the shoe [in the hard to reach places. especially - the arch between the (high) heel and the ground].. It looks kind of like a combination between the edge beveler and a roller... Maybe one of you knows where I can find one? Or know it's proper name? many thanks!!

Art Report post Posted February 28, 2012 What it sounds like from your description is a circular welt knife, or maybe the American version that which is called a Star Welt Knife. They were used to cut down excess welt on the top of the outsole. This tool is still made by United, I think it has a welt knife and Star knife on either end. If you just want to cut the outsole to shape you can do that with a lip knife which is just a shoe knife with the tip bent over (and not sharpened). A little better description of what you are trying to do to what part of the shoe, and in which step of the process, before or after welt is sewn and what you are trying to trim.

If you are looking for a circular welt knife - I have this one available - Sounds to me like your looking for a Landis 5 in 1. When I was a kid working in my Grand Dad's shoe repair shot he had one. I just checked ebay. This it? http://www.ebay.com/...=item27c3d66ac0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
