Recommended Posts

s-l640.jpgWondered if anyone had experience of the new type manual skivers coming in at less than £60 it looks like you can angle the blade to do rolled edges

You do know of course that a good hand skiving knife can be held in your hand at any angle and you don't have a "Razor Blade" to contend with.

Yes I have one of these. They are a Chinese copy of a German machine designed for bookbinding. I have had very little success with mine, but plenty of ruined leather, rude words, and some blood. They may be suited to lighter leathers than I am trying to use them with, which would make sense since they are intended for bookbinding.
