DUJISO Leather Working Knife with Wooden Handle - DIY Leathercraft Cutting

This is a skiving knife but if you want this to work like the top name brands , you’re mean to do some sanding .. on the bevel side facing down. You’re shooting for a 10 dreg angle . Blue tape a round pice of nylon on the handle so you can redress that angle. Start with 80 grit , marker up the blade . I did mine on a granite tile and the area that I’m sanding is only touching the blade . The nylon spacers is wrapped with blue tape . It takes time to redress the angle . Once that has a burr on the opposite side switch to 150 grit and repeat the process. Use a fine grit stone to clean the burr off the back . Then go to 180 grit so the same . After I got to 220-320 I started using the sand paper on the bevel on the back. I used water on the wet/ dry sandpaper. I went all the way to 15000 grit . Front and back , make sure on the back you hold the blade flat to the sandpaper. Keep the same amount of pressure on the blade fro start to finish. Onlt the cutting edge of the blade will be on the sandpaper . Once you get to 15000 grit do it bevel side and back 3-4 times . Your done wit the sandpaper. Now on to the strop board buy one or make one and use green stick compound on the smooth side of the leather. 20 times on the bevels side and the same on the back holding it flat . Then 15 , 10, 5 ,1 . It should be very sharp .Now this will shive shuck or thin leather , I’ve done four knives the cheap ones and a planer blade . Or you can spend the extra coin a buy a higher tagged knife and hit it with a strop and your set. Good luck , thanks for reading my story 😎

This thing is great!It's very sharp and can shave leather no problem at all. Was expecting it to need some sharpening but that is not the case at all.Very pleased with purchase.

Obviously you get what you pay for. This is great for beginners that don’t want to spend to much money at first. If you keep a strop next to your working project, you can get great results! However, let me be clear, you have to strop/sharpen this knife after nearly every single cut. It’s able to obtain a very sharp edge, but it goes dull almost immediately. Again, you get what you pay for so can’t give this a bad review, just be sure you understand that this quality of knife does not hold a sharp edge for a long time.Also, I gave 4/5 stars not because the the knife doesn’t hold an edge, but because it arrived with a (very very small) knick in the blade. I don’t think this affected the performance of the knife, but it does show the somewhat relaxed quality control of this company.I recommend this to anyone trying their hand at leather craft. If you can get clean results with this, you’ll be outstanding with a higher end knife.

The handle and blade width were good for making a leather watch strap.Maybe it's because it's new, but it was nice and sharp and worked very well for making a tapered edge.

I was very pleased with this. It was absolutely razor sharp and ready to go on receipt. It skived some 7/9 oz leather with ease. I don't know about the durability of the edge, but I couldn't ask for it to be any sharper.

Incredible value

The knife was sharp and seems to be a good value for the cost. There is a very serious burr on on one corner of the blade - it's going to take some work to get it out. Stropping is not going to help this - will need a stone to smooth it out. It's ok, but now I wish I had just purchased a higher quality knife and not had to buy another one

Nice design and comfortable in the hand. With a bit of practice, it should do the job just fine.
