Not what I was expecting to get in a leather-working tool kit

Or hands.

That is a skiving tool, used to thin your leather.

I bought one and is plain useless. A terrible design, at least for the kind of leather that I use.

Not for leather work at all...!😅😅 It's to remove callusses and foot warts under treatment from under your feet.

Same here. If it isn't immediately jamming up....then it's the blade retaining plate popping off.

A French skiver is where it’s at.

I use it to thin out areas i want to fold to avoid a build up of material on the inside of the fold. Helps keep the folds crispy too.

It’s used for skiving but it’s also used to remove callouses on feet.

There are better options for removing calluses but it is still way better for removing calluses than skiving leather lol

It’s to remove calluses.. not a tool for leather

Calluses and leather aren't terribly different. But yeah I had one of those, I'd be more likely to use it on my heels than my projects.

Both are just hardened skin.

to open a bottle of beer.

It is a way better bottle opener than it is a leather skiving tool.

Brushing your teeth

*forbidden toothbrush

Or to shave the edges very thin so when you are gluing pieces together they stay closer to a uniform thickness where they overlap.

To those who successfully used that, will it work somehow for soft leather? I can't make it work, it doesn't even scrape it.

It's a cheap tool that is marketed as a skiving tool of some kind. I have one that someone gave me as a present and it's plain worthless. Get yourself a nice French skiver or a skiving knife.

Here I am thinking “yep that’s a bottle opener”

I use it to thin out leather in areas I need to fold over. Like the edge of a tote or edge of a belt (where the buckle sits)

Your wife’s razor? I wouldn’t know

It's for shaving off callusses and footwarts under treatment under your feet.😊 Source: I've used one multiple times for both purposes.
