Dull and trashy knife

The blade was raw and dull when delivered. It had to be sharpened with a whetstone and leather cord. The blade is made of mild steel and will dull after a few snips or attempts at grinding. I spent more time sharpening this shitty knife than cutting or honing it. Don't waste your time or money on this crappy knife.

Pros
  • Leatherworking accessories
Cons
  • Money box price

Unbeatable price

The bevel looks awful in one of the pics so I figured I'd buy it anyway and practice on my whetstones because it's only $6. However, it came out razor sharp and flawless, and I was able to sand very tough, dry, vegetable tanned leather straight away. I've never been able to cut with my Japanese Olfa knife. This is the best purchase I have ever made in the leather industry.

Pros
  • Arts, Crafts & Sewing
Cons
  • I'll add later

GREAT VALUE "IF " YOU WANT TO WORK FOR IT

First of all the knife as supplied could not be used for skinning. I appreciated other reviews that highlighted the need for proper blade finishing and sharpening. After honing the rough concavity, sharpening at a 14 degree angle and polishing the flat side, the blade is ground and will now do a very good job. The handle needed a little contouring and smoothing, hand stained and rubbed with polyurethane and is now in service. Think of it as a heat treated piece of raw material with a handle…

Pros
  • Leathercraft
Cons
  • Not as thick as other pickaxes
