I couldn't use it properly
Having seen leatherworkers on Youtube using one of these for skiving leather and having just started leather working myself I thought it would be a good tool.Sorry to say I couldn't skive with it, the part where the blade fits kept bending when I tried it, perhaps there is a skill to using it.One point of warning though, when changing blades be very careful as you shouldn't or rather cannot push the blade in with your fingers, not from the front as you will slice your fingers. Preferably gently use a thumb-nail or push it in side ways.A good tool if you know how to use it.

Metal is too soft
You have to put a certain amount of pressure on the skiver to make the cut, unfortunately by the time you have done this four or five times, you need to straighten the tool out again (ie bend it back so it is not so bent), the blade area bends way to easily which the significantly reduces width of cut. I'd look for a thicker one in preference to this, I think it will weaken/break quite quickly.

Sharp and accurate
I don't really know how I did without this tool. I really don't think I need a better one, this does everything I need a skiver to. The blades are super sharp, and there were spares in a small box with the skiver, so they should keep me going for quite a while. I've been able to get quite accurate edging done - really happy.

Not very sturdy
To be honest I was a bit disappointed with this purely because the frame bends easily. Would have expected the frame to be far more solid. I'm giving it three stars simply because it operates a bit better than a different skiver I tried. Still searching for that elusive slicing tool that works well....

Not that useful
Not great to be honest, it wouldn't skive the edges properly so I leaned slightly harder on it and the thing bent.

Not worth it
Made very cheap. The blade will cut a few times before feeling blunt, then when pressure is applied it bends!

This item should never be called professional it is weak and bends very easily a complete waste of money
unfortunately I missed the return date. This item should never be called professional it is weak and bends very easily a complete waste of money. I can't believe how bad it is and so overpriced.

This item is so badly made. It bent first time I tried to use it. Dangerous.
