Is this a leather strap cutter? MIke J

Yes, that is a plough gauge for cutting straps.

That thing looks awesome and a great deal more finger friendly than some of the wooden ones I have seen, too.

This one is different as you push the blade instead of pull it. I always wanted to try one. It looks like it might be easier than the wooden pull ones.

Thanks for the help from all of you. Bruce Johnson put me onto a vedio that shows how to use this thing without cutting your arm off. Thanks Mike

Hey Mike,,,, I used this cutter today to cut some 3in. x 6 ft straps for a saddle repair and this thing works great. Really slick..mike

Hey Mike!

I always sort of figured I'd do better pushing a strap cutter than I have pulling it. I'm glad to hear that it is working well for you. Just remember, like a round knife, left hand BEHIND the blade
