Not quite sharp enough

This thing is awesome. I have wanted to get one for a while but the ones I looked at were always so expensive. Found this guy for a great price and figured it wouldn't be anything great for the price, but I was definitely wrong! Came razor sharp and ready to use. It does everything I need it to and it feels good and sturdy. For this price, it is definitely worth it!

I did not expect a lot from the knife initially. After all it is a ten dollar skiving knife. However, when I received the knife it would not cut anything. The grind on the blade was extremely skewed. The was almost no bevel at all on the right side of the blade. It was about half a millimeter away from being totally blunt. I will eventually take the diamond stones to it and try to get it working properly. Basically I purchased a finish it yourself skiving knife for ten dollars. We will see how it turns out.

I was using an utility knife for cutting and after using this knife I can't believe how much easier it is to cut. No more blades going dull after three cuts and cuts skewing because of how hard I'm exerting. I honestly thought it was going to be junk for how cheap it is but I've been using it for a few weeks now and it's still as sharp as the day I got it!

I have many tandy brand tools along with a blade or two and this knife is sharper and feels just as well made as tandys for a 3rd of the price

Extremely sharp right out of the box

This knife is very sharp comfortable to use. Be carefull I cut my finger. Don't let the price discourage you it works very well. I used it to trim edges on motorcycle leather which has many different textures on the back and worked well.
