Need help cutting straps for mystery braids

Recommended Posts

I have been learning to do mystery braids, and started using them for safety straps on my holsters. They look pretty sharp. However, I can't seen to cut them too well, and am wasting a lot of leather trying to cut the strips straight. Any advice that doesn't require spending a lot on a new tool?

I use a "Jerry's Stripper" for those. Not sure who sells them anymore. Wasn't very expensive.

Thanks Michael, but a quick search showed them from $35 to $50. Not quite as cheap as I'd like, and I am well known for cheap strippers... :)

How about a stack of washers on a bolt with scalpel blades wedged between them?

That might work. Thanks Matt!
