Boring as it gets - Leathercraft

This is about as boring as a spatula from Walmart. The handle is made of pitted wood all around, as if it were some kind of wooden train, and the surface is rough and sticky. I could use it to scrape dog poop off my shoes and that's about it. I knew at this price it seemed too good to be true. Save some money and just bite the bullet and buy a CS Osborne or some other good one.

Super sharp knife that works surprisingly well

Love this cheap knife. If you go to many reputable leather goods stores, you will see clippers for $200. Please check this first, it was very sharp and as leatherworkers we all have to sharpen our blades to keep the blade sharp. Maybe one day I'll switch to a fancy knife or grinder but I think it will be for many years to come as I really enjoy using this knife to get the job done. Good luck master!

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Crumpled

Perfect Blade; the handle is a little useless

The thing is very sharp; I find it effective for precisely cutting 2 to 8 gauge leather (cut carefully and be patient). The grip is a little slick for my comfort. I wouldn't say "no" to some sort of guardian (I despise bleeding on a project - #delicacy) and maybe some leather on the handle. The handle is made of polished softwood. My review, write your own) The balance for work is good, but the strength of the blade is still Nuno. Like digging this thing.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Making

Skin trimming made easy!

I have been working as a tanner for a few years now and have always found sanding a chore. I have both a safe skiver and a super skiver from Tandy Leather, but getting a straight skiver with these tools is almost impossible. I've practiced and practiced and it's extremely difficult for me to get a consistent advantage. I bought this tool and I have to say I'm incredibly impressed. It's very sharp right out of the box and I was able to cut both 12oz and 4oz leather to a sharp edge. This tool may

Blade damaged in shipping

Update: BAYVAN Store (seller) contacted me after seeing that he had sent me a damaged product. They sent me a replacement and it arrived in much better condition. I spent a few minutes on a whetstone to get it to a razor blade and it works like a charm. I had no prior knife sharpening experience but I am happy with my product and very happy with the quality of customer service. The blade looks as if it was struck on metal. No chips, but clearly unusable. Very disappointing.

Pros
  • This item is great for sharpening and general cutting
Cons
  • Other interesting options are available.

Preferably. skiver. Is always.

Sanding is something I really dislike when working with leather. I hate it so much that I've tried almost every type of skinning knife/blade to find one that makes the process that little bit more bearable. This knife worked. The blade is incredibly sharp and the wooden handle feels good in the hand. This reduced the time it took me to complete this task by about 2/3. And for the first time tonight using a knife I found myself starting the sharpening process without irritation which is what…

Pros
  • Features a wooden handle for ease of use
Cons
  • Only available in white

When buying in the BAYVAN store!

This leather trimming tool came with Revain's signature fast delivery. Dispatched from the BAYVAN store with Prime Shipping, it arrived in perfect condition and with a much better working edge than I expected. As it turned out, the 14-16 oz baseboard was no problem, it cut efficiently and smoothly and did a great job of removal too. I also trimmed a few layers including two 12oz and one 9oz sheaths. It made the job quick and very smooth with a lot less hassle than I usually experience. It…
