DIUDUS Leather Skiving Knife, Pointed Skiving Cutting Knife with Wooden Handle, Leather Skiver - with Exquisite Package for DIY Leathercraft

It was pretty sharp when I got it. But I work the edge on it, and polished it, and that thing makes her razor blade looked stupid. I used it to cut out some pretty intricate leather parts.The edges were vertical.It was not hard to do it cut through eight ounces of leather. I know it's a skive but it makes a hell of a cutout knife

Sharpest thing ever. Great for fleece and saddle repairs.

It was sharp right out of the box and seems really well made.

Haven't put it to use yet, but anticipate that it will get the job done when the time comes. The big question is will it hold an edge for a reasonable period of use on medium weight leather.

For the price... the quality and comfort of using this great tool. I wasn't familiar with the brand name of this skiving knife, and thought "what the heck" I'll give it a try. Needless to say, I'm beyond impressed. The edge is sharp straight out of the box and remains sharp. Light stopping once at the start of my day and it's skiving leather like butter effortlessly. I've since purchased many of their products and can't wait to see what's next. I have yet to receive anything that they make be sub-par. Look to the big names in leather craft if you like... Diudus has won my confidence.

The product doesn’t look like the picture. The image shows a black handle and what appears to be a brass decorative piece. The piece I got was more of a dark brown, which is understandable using real wood, but the “gold” part is a rather unappealing muddy yellow color. The blade also had some very small rust pits and was little dirty. The general fit and finish is less than perfect, but for the price it’s not too bad.However, the knife does come wicked sharp out of the box and it cuts great. It glides through even thick leather. It might not look as good as I was hoping, but it works better than I expected. All in all this is a tool I see myself using quite a bit, it just won’t look as pretty on my bench as I had hoped.

After reading a few of the negative reviews, I was hesitant to buy this knife. Because it was exactly the shape and had a one side only edge, I decided I would try it in spite of the negatives. Ok, it was “sharp” but it was only ok. Looking at the blade, I knew I could improve the edge quite a bit. After about 1/2 hr with my wet stones and compounds, this knife now shames a razor. I couldn’t be happier. The construction is very good and the blade is thick and doesn’t bend ( which was exactly what I wanted.). It is a very nice looking knife but is not a show piece. I really didn’t think it is supposed to be. My $200 & $300 knives are show pieces. For the price of this one, I wasn’t expecting show quality. (My humor). Don’t get me wrong though, this is a very nice piece and well made. I will be buying another just to have two. I can’t beat this knife, for the price, anywhere. Highly recommend it.Three days later. My second knife just arrived. I’m just as pleased. A little time and a little bit if sharpening and I now have two awesome leather cutting instruments Show pieces? No but they are very nice looking but I’m buying a knife and I LOVE these knives. Easy to use. Cut curves, straight, thick,(14 oz )and thin (3-4oz) easily. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
