Review: Pretty impressive tool for skiving and paring soft leather - Birthday present from my wife, Considering this is from China it's made pretty well. My expectations were not very high. I have been looking for quite a while for a good way to skive Chrome tanned leather in preparation for sewing. I almost purchased the Schärffix skiver and was tossing around the idea of buying a bell skiver. I have an old Cast iron hand crank gear driven American skiver that works extremely well with veggie tan. The thicker the leather the better and it's not meant for chrome tanned leather after all it didn't really exist when the American was originally designed. I have just about every hand skiving tool you can imagine, numerous styles round knives, Head knives, dexter knives, Tandy skivers and various hand made tools for Paring / skiving. This thing really seems to be the best for me. If I skived chrome tanned leather full time all day I would have a Bell Skiver. My current needs are met with this tool. It's certainly a step up from a hand skiving/ paring tool and yet not as productive as the bell skiver. My first impression was icky, I thought the parts were practically falling off and full of slop. I had to tighten up the turn buckles adjust the slop and lock down the lock nuts. I added a drop of sewing oil to the threads and the pivot points a little dab of grease to the cam leaver that opens the jaws and everything operates smoothly with next to no backlash. Making a few adjustments was refreshing change as I had no need to completely rework the tool like I have with so many Chinese tools in the past. The machining on the blade holder could be a bit better and the blades are terrible, just absolutely terrible. Adjustment takes very little time, with a little common sense you'll get repeatable results. I personally did not experience the deflection Jeff Peachey mentions with the Schärffix style paring/ skiving machine. Perhaps with long term use this may present itself as a problem. I've dulled half a dozen double side blades so far and this is working really well. The 18 Blades that came with this were junk, maybe someone else had gotten better blades. I purchased Schärffix blades they fit and hold a good edge. Standard DE Blades (Double edged razor blades) will fit as well are the best buy. I would suggest buying a sample pack from desertcart to try different manufactures before purchasing a box of a 100. The YaeTek Manual Leather Skiver works well on soft leather, thin veg tan and will cut thicker veggie tanned leather however Heavy veggie tanned leather will almost certainly destroy the tool in short order. Heavy veg tanned leather should be used in a sturdy machine like the Landis or American type skiver. Great tool and I would buy this if my wife had not gotten it for me first. ## Features - YaeTek Manual Leather Skiver Has Strong Metal Construction; - This Leather Skiver has a good trimming performance; - This Leather Sparing Machine is Very Easy to use, no matter you are a new or a professional, you can use it easily; - Good quality and High safety - Package Included :1 x leather splitter, 18 x blades ,3 x special roller ,1 x spanner ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #226,371 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #1,385 in Leathercraft Accessories | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 138 Reviews | ## Images ![Manual Leather Skiver - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P+biliJkL.jpg) ![Manual Leather Skiver - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71jtmwW03mL.jpg) ![Manual Leather Skiver - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X41+OzVBL.jpg) ![Manual Leather Skiver - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/810TpDTFDUL.jpg) ![Manual Leather Skiver - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81X3eWCCmSL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this product backed by Amazon, simple free returns, or have to deal with seller? Im hesitant buying knock off** A: if its PRIME it should be covered and returnable. **Q: What is the length of the cutting blade?** A: It is the same width as a straight ravor blade around an 1-1/4" but the cut is limited to the roller underneath. It comes with 3 seizes the largest being around an inch, but I was only able to get 7/8" cut. For sewing it's plenty. **Q: This looks almost identical to the Scharffix. How is it different?** A: A different company makes it. **Q: How wide can it skive leather strips?** A: one to one and a quarter inches ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good device for reasonable cost *by C***S on May 31, 2020* So far this device works really well.

Rollers merely drop in place but are not restrained in any way so with least movement they come flying out and are very hard to find. The three rollers included are each made for a different purpose so are not interchangeable. ## Frequently Bought Together - YaeTek Manual Leather Skiver Leather Splitter Leather Paring Machine Leather Craft Edge Skiving Machine with 18 Blades - Leather Skiver Splitter, Stainless Steel Manual Leather Skiving Machine with 8.27 inch Blades Leather Peeling Machine DIY Leather Strap Cutting Tool for Leather Thinning Work - Seiwa Tokonole Leather Polishing Eraser Clear (120g) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/70940281-manual-leather-skiver](https://www.desertcart.co.il/products/70940281-manual-leather-skiver) --- *Product available on Desertcart Israel* *Store origin: IL* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
