Inexpensive skiving/paring knife
Recently purchased an inexpensive skiving knife from J. Hewitt & Sons.
It needed some work to sharpen the blade correctly but for less than £6.50 it was worth a punt.
Very pleased so far and it seems to keep its edge well. I usually strop the blade every 5 or so cuts. Just need to wrap the handle now.

@Leathercraft Masterclass still getting used to the clipped tip. I think the knives are Japanese or Korean. Super sharp with a polished edge and nicely flatted back which makes keeping them sharp a doddle. I think at £25 ish each, they’re a bargain.
Highly recommended
