Review on πŸ”ͺ Gaosi Tools Set: Flat and Curved Skiver Plane - Small Leathercraft Safety Skife Knife for Curved Leather by Amber Perez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

No worse than the "Japanese ", which cost twice as much.

Good size and comfortable to hold. Like most bladed tools, you'll need to sharpen them further before using them. I also recommend you practice on scraps as there is both a learning curve and a different approach for different skin types and weights. A curved flat curve works well for very small bites, while a flat curve works well for stable cuts and also for beveling edges. And like all your leather cutting tools, you want to keep them sharp. A note: the angle is slightly steeper than the more expensive competition. I like it, but then again I understand that it works a little differently.

Pros
  • Width: 20 mm (3/4 inch)
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks
