Great knife!

Nice knife for cutting leather. The beveled edge provides a better curved cut. The knife comes pre-sharpened, but it's not as sharp as I'd like it to be. But after 10 minutes of sharpening and buffing, it cuts perfectly. Definitely the best knife I've ever used to cut leather!

Pros
  • So far satisfied
Cons
  • Write later

Great Japanese clipper

You get a great clipper for the price. This is intended to be used when cutting contours with a left bevel. One thing I noticed is that the edges need some smoothing. 240 grit sandpaper should help hold it more comfortably. Also, it is legal to weld carbon steel to softer iron/steel. Good for serious hobbyists.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Can't remember

Waste of money

It's hard to find a knife with a duller blade than this knife. I bought this to replace the one I bought in Weaver leather as they were out of stock. While the Weaver version looks razor sharp, this one looks so dull it's almost unusable. After honing and working for almost 40 minutes it became usable. I had to wait for the weaver to become available. DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON IT!

Pros
  • 1 year free trial
Cons
  • Available in white only
