Nessmuk1 Report post Posted March 11, 2014 I bought a thing called a leather splitter. It is small, two pieces of wood, hinged, and has a blade in one side, a metal pad on the other. When hinged closed it has the blade into a slot on the metal pad. It is only 4 - 6 inches long closed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bruce johnson Report post Posted March 11, 2014 It sounds like it might be an Akins (Atkins, Adkins, something like that anyway) splitter. Very old , Got a picture? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not really. Bought on the bay site, but can't seem to make a link to the picture. http://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Vintage-Unmarked-Leather-Leatherworking-Schul-Sons-Blade-Splitter-Awl-Tool-/161235601028?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWNX%3AIT&nma=true&si=hywUrk0QulLwib07hnscODIpEkI%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc Edited March 11, 2014 by Nessmuk1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
