Damascus Steel Saddler's Leather Cutter, 6-inch, with Wood and Brass Handle and Leather Sheath

This saddler's cutter provides a wide, controllable blade for skiving and cutting leather. The blade is hand-forged from Damascus steel, folded five times to create over 246 layers. This process results in a distinctive pattern and a durable edge suitable for detailed leatherwork.

The tool has an overall length of approximately 6 inches. Its full-tang construction is fitted with a handle made from wood, accented with brass bolsters and decorative mosaic pins for a secure grip. A stitched leather sheath is included to protect the blade when not in use.

Ideal for leatherworkers, saddlers, and craftspeople for tasks such as edge skiving, making long straight cuts, or shaping heavy leather hides.

Specifications

Before you order

Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.

Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.

Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.

Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
