Leather Skiving Knife, Pointed Skiving Cutting Knife with Wooden Handle, Leather Skiver - with Exquisite Package for DIY Leathercraft

After reading a few of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to buy this knife. Because it was exactly the shape and had a one side only edge, I decided I would try it in spite of the negatives. Ok, it was “sharp” but it was only ok. Looking at the blade, I knew I could improve the edge quite a bit. After about 1/2 hr with my wet stones and compounds, this knife now shames a razor. I couldn’t be happier. The construction is very good and the blade is thick and doesn’t bend ( which was exactly what I wanted.). It is a very nice looking knife but is not a show piece. I really didn’t think it is supposed to be. My $200 & $300 knives are show pieces. For the price of this one, I wasn’t expecting show quality. (My humor). Don’t get me wrong though, this is a very nice piece and well made. I will be buying another just to have two. I can’t beat this knife, for the price, anywhere. Highly recommend it. Three days later. My second knife just arrived. I’m just as pleased. A little time and a little bit if sharpening and I now have two awesome leather cutting instruments Show pieces? No but they are very nice looking but I’m buying a knife and I LOVE these knives. Easy to use. Cut curves, straight, thick, (14 oz )and thin (3-4oz) easily. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

It was pretty sharp when I got it. But I work the edge on it, and polished it, and that thing makes her razor blade looked stupid. I used it to cut out some pretty intricate leather parts.The edges were vertical.It was not hard to do it cut through eight ounces of leather. I know it's a skive but it makes a hell of a cutout knife

Very clean cut was sharp right out of the box

These DIUDUS craft knives come with barely any edge. If you take the time on your sharpening stones to maintain a pure chisel grind single bevel edge these work quite well. Wish they came with storage sheathes. Overall a decent value.

Sharp and great for skiving on leather also looks pretty nice too

Advertised as a black handle that matches most of all the other tools they have but def very brown. The blade does not have a straight edge so leather strop wont do anything but get ruined being each end of the blade stick out further than the center of what should be a straight edge. The blade separation from the handle is very visible and just looks like it’s ready to fall off. The acrylic makes it even worse being able to see the sloppy work. The blade is dull and has a knick. I’m pretty sure they use the not sharp for shipping as an excuse for blade edges lack of quality control. All in all disappointment and too cheap to waste time sending back but too expensive to throw away. I know you get what you pay for but really had hopes being I like how some of the other tools feel in hand but they just totally didn’t even try with this thing. Oh and they could’ve at least wiped the grime off

the seller sent it promptly and when i opened the box i thought gee....very nice looking knife and built sturdy but its just not sharp enough! i dont have knife sharpening skills but i guess i will soon. also i forgot to think about being left handed and the bevel edge is for right handers. anyway it is a quality built knife as far as i know just doesn't cut like butter.

Purchased and its way to thick to skive with you will need to grind handle down to a thinner profile and you will need to sharpen it before it's actually useful if i could give zero stars i would
