Members chrisash Posted June 3, 2018 Members Report Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Wondered 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 Edited June 3, 2018 by chrisash Quote
Contributing Member Ferg Posted June 3, 2018 Contributing Member Report Posted June 3, 2018 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. Ferg Quote
Members Matt S Posted June 3, 2018 Members Report Posted June 3, 2018 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. Quote
