Description
The Lero Leather Skiving Knife is the foundational tool for any serious leathercrafter. We designed this round knife with a slightly smaller diameter than standard head knives, giving you superior maneuverability and easier control for intricate cuts.
The blade is forged from high-quality carbon steel that holds a razor-sharp edge, allowing you to slice through thick hides or delicately skive edges without dragging. Paired with a solid oak handle treated with natural linseed oil, it offers a comfortable grip that lets you work for hours without hand fatigue.

Does the tool come sharpened, or do I need to sharpen it?
Every single one of our tools—from garden knives to wood carving chisels—arrives professionally hand-sharpened, honed, and polished. You can start working the moment you take it out of the box.
How do I care for the carbon steel blade?
We use high-carbon steel because it holds an edge far better than stainless steel. However, it requires simple care:
Never leave the tool wet or dirty.
Wipe the blade dry immediately after use.
If storing for a long time, apply a thin coat of oil (camellia or machine oil) to prevent rust.
What is the handle made of?
Our handles are turned from durable hardwood (primarily Oak or Ash). We finish them with natural linseed oil, which protects the wood from moisture and provides a comfortable, non-slip grip that only looks better with age.
How do I keep the blade sharp?
Thanks to the hardness of our steel, the edge lasts a long time. To maintain that surgical sharpness, we recommend periodically maintaining the edge on a leather strop with polishing compound. This is usually sufficient for regular maintenance without needing sharpening stones.
Is this tool suitable for left-handed users?
Most of our tools (such as the Round Knives, Straight Draw Knives, and Hori Hori) feature double-edged or symmetrical blades, making them perfect for both left and right hands. For specific directional tools (like Hook Knives), please check if a "Left/Right" option is available.
