Full-Featured Box Contents Hand skivers work well for removing material from larger areas, or from straps. When looking to do detailed skiing or accurate edge work, skiver knives come in handy. Skiver Knives A sharper blade will help alleviate many of the issues that occur when skiving. The knife should be as sharp as possible, where no additional pressure is necessary to cut through the leather. This alone will make skiving much easier and can prevent the leather from tearing during the process. Additionally, the surface the leather is skived on can help improve the process. Another day, another manual leather skiver. This one has a cool quality-of-life feature, which makes it worth a mention here. Before we mention the highlights, let’s look at the basics.

What resulted was about six to eight hours of extreme frustration while I tried to skive all of this 8oz leather down to about 5oz. And I tried really hard to keep it all smooth, but it ended up extremely pitted. To make matters worse, I was using a super skiver (which I didn’t even really know what that was at the time) and started to rush towards the end as I got more and more impatient. That, of course, only resulted in me cutting a hole completely through a few pieces of leather and having to start all over again. The included blades are very sharp themselves and should cut through almost all leather types. If you like working on leather and want a traditional, strong, and competent skiving machine, you can’t go wrong with this one. HIGHLIGHTED FEATURES To skive down leather, use a razor-sharp knife at a shallow angle to cut away leather from the edge. Depending on how much leather needs to be removed, the angle can be adjusted.

Can you skive leather with a knife?If you’re doing very large projects, or high-volume production of leather goods, a bell skiver might be best. Hand skivers and skiver knives require the skill of the craftsperson to get accurate results, and like any craft, this can take time. That might be totally ok for one wallet, or a small bag or upholstery project. However, if you’re working on making dozens of the same design or looking at factory volume, a machine can be helpful.

To skive with a tabletop skiver, the preferred skiving height is set, leather is placed under the blade, and a lever is lowered to secure the leather in place. Once in place, the leather is pulled through the skiver. This results in a skived piece that matches the height originally set on the skiver. A lot of professional or prosumer leather skiving machines will have height-adjustable rollers boldly displayed in the product description. Little things like these might not seem all that significant. Over time, as you get more and more use out of your machine, these little things will come into play much more prominently. The Level of Wear and Tear Plus, just because one costs more than the other, does not always mean that it is right for you. Think of what you will need and which ones meet your needs the best. Leather tabletop skivers are table-mounted leather thinning machine tools used to skive leather efficiently and with consistent results. They usually come with large 6”– 10” blades, and have adjustable skiving heights.
