Saddler's head knife

Curved Leatherworking Knife

The curved leatherworking knife is a traditional saddlery and leatherworking tool. Thanks to its unique shape and ergonomic blade, it has become a classic in workshops.

A tool designed for precision

This model features:

• A hardened steel blade, thinned and cold‑sharpened, offering optimal cutting mechanics and excellent edge retention.

• A hand-sharpened symmetric bevel, very fine — ready to use upon delivery.

• A blade shape suited for curved cutting, ideal for following curved lines or working on delicate details in leather.

• An ergonomic cherry wood handle with raw brass ferrule, providing a comfortable grip and precise control of the tool.

Maintenance tips

To ensure a long life for your curved leatherworking knife and consistently sharp cuts:

• Regularly sharpen the blade with a fine sharpening stone or a leather strop to maintain an optimal edge.

• Work in small, successive passes to preserve precise control without removing too much material at once.

Regular maintenance ensures the tool remains precise, efficient, and pleasant to use, project after project.
