Dunluce Report post Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) While looking at skiving knives I notice some are called Lap Skiving Knives. What is the difference in use between a lap skiving knife and an ordinary one? What is lap skiving? Edited December 19, 2019 by Dunluce Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chuck123wapati Report post Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) lap = overlap, underlap, two pieces of leather skived so the thickness doesn't change when they are lapped together. each piece of leather is usually skived at a taper. Skiving or paring is a basic term for thinning a piece of leather. Edited December 19, 2019 by chuck123wapati Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
