TomWisc Report post Posted December 31, 2018 I got this at a consignment/resale/junk store for $1.00. It was full of tar, apparently used to clean other tools like a scraper. This was the second store I went to and decided I needed to leave with something. The blade tapers from a potentially sharp edge to 1/4" in the handle. I thought for a buck I would see if it could be cleaned up and used for skiving/cutting leather. I wish I took a 'before' picture. So after cleaning all the tar and gook off it I sharpened it. It actually works pretty well for careful skiving and cuts leather like a dream! Old tools are pretty cool! You may not know what it was intended for, or used for, but I think it is great to repurpose them and give them a new life! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
