We are pleased to offer a collaboration with Shing Chan of Shing Crafts ... Some of you will know Shing from our leathercraft events where he does an excellent demonstration on stropping knives and tools to get the keenest edge.
These skivers come in three widths - 10mm (ideal for smaller projects such as wallets and book binding), 15mm and 20mm (ideal for belts and straps)
Every tool cutting edge is hand honed and stropped to a razor edge ready for immediate use.
These are made in small batches to maintain quality and being completely handmade, every one is unique.
