FST Hand-Forged Straight Leather Skiving Knife with 3 cm blade and ash wood handle

Quiet control in the palm

The Straight Leather Skiving Knife by Sharky Forged Steel Tools feels at home on a gridded mat, beside a roll of hide and a cup gone cool. The ash handle settles into the hand; the 3 cm edge meets leather with calm certainty.

Benchside ritual

A steady cut, a softer edge

Forged clarity

Uneven bevels and bulky seams can stall a project long before stitching begins. The Straight Leather Skiving Knife, 3 cm, answers with a razor-sharp, hand‑forged high‑carbon steel blade that thins and shapes with measurable accuracy. Its polished ash handle, finished in natural linseed oil, keeps the grip composed through long sessions. Work turns from fussy to fluent.

Clean edges, calmer hands

Edges determine everything—the fold, the seam, the way a wallet closes without strain. With consistent edge retention and a balanced 80 g body, each pass feels sure and repeatable. Whether you’re tuning a strap end or feathering a pocket, the knife brings the finish closer with fewer corrections.

For the leather bench

Leatherworkers—new or seasoned—who prize tactile feedback and precise, controllable skiving in a compact tool.

In practice

Lay the hide flat and use the 3 cm straight edge to feather seams, thin folds, and square ends before stitching.
