Weaver Leather Supply Hardwood Handle Round Knife for Leather Working/Crafting Steel

This tool is an absolute dream. Being a little bit more than the competition but worth every penny. I am even comparing this in performance with my South African Pattern Knife. It performs in just about every way just as good. Although it doesn't have the same finish and finesse, it is made it in the USA and is now my favorite cutting tool in my leather working arsenal. It cuts straight, it skives without effort and it's the sharp out of the box.I was actually not a fan of round knives before. My previous one was dull and lost it's edge quickly. This is not the case at all with this. I highly recommend this.

I upgraded this from an upset first impression I had. After using it I’m very happy with the knife. Here’s my honest opinionThis knife will seriously step up your leather game.You MUST have respect for it, because it’ll get ya if you get In front of it.I just wish a little more love went into the handle.I had to re-glue the end towards the blade after a few cuts.On just physical appearance the handle was a very light wood not reddish brown like the pic. (It’s a tool so oh well, but for those who try to match wood handles on your leather tools this matters)Other than that, it’s been good and I hope to upgrade to more Weaver tools someday soon. If they’re anything like this knife they’ll take your leather crafting to the next level.

Comes very sharp right out the box, and best of all, made in USA.

Damn this knife is sharp, and STAYS sharp! After cutting through 20 sq ft of 9oz tool leather I only briefly took it to the strop, after which it looked back at me in the reflection of my weary face and said "Feed more leather to the leather beast!". Who am I to deny him? I'm but a mere mortal. After acquiescing to it's demands I was back at it, slicing and shaping leather cutouts in a frenzied delirium. It drew blood on me a couple times, but every knife demands a blood sacrifice. The knife is extremely sturdy, feels natural to the hand, and far better than anything else in it's price point. Feed the Leather Beast. Buy one of these.

Not incredibly impressed. My blade came rather severely bent or cupped, which makes it a challenge to sharpen and use effectively.

The media could not be loaded. This is a beautiful knife. I did a lot of research before buying one, and this one kept getting called out on leather forums and recommended bby other leather workers, so I got it. This isn't the cheapest head knife out there, but I'm glad I got it because this thing looks like it will last a long time.When it's sharp (and it's not that hard to get it sharp using s strop) it is a dream to cut with. It will cut through 9-10 oz leather with ease, and is actually very versatile in its uses, everything from cutting straight lines and tight curves to skiving. It's a great addition to my leather shop and definitely a tool I'll be using for years to come

Knife was nice and sharp. Worked good for a few weeks of use while I was making a saddle then the rivet that holds the two wood handles broke at the bottom and the rest of the knife just swivels. It needs more than two rivets. Thankfully they have lifetime warranty on it so I sent it to weaver and they replaced it. Makes it worth it! Thanks.

This little guy came pretty dull. It needed to be stropped, and stropped well.It came well packaged in foam to protect the blade, but even that small amount of jiggling around is enough to take the edge off of well-honed blade. No big deal.A few swipes on the ol' strop (about 20-25 degree angle of attack) and this thing is shaving sharp. I can cut through heavy temper Hermann Oak 10 ounce like butter.I really like this knife.
