Coltello da banco
Definition
The head knife is an essential tool for every leather craftsman. Its curved blade allows precise cutting of leather strips and the preparation of pieces for belts and bags. The sturdiness of the material and the ergonomic shape make it ideal for skiving large surfaces, ensuring a clean and even cut. This tool has a long history in leatherworking and continues to be fundamental for those who, like me, seek perfection in the details. Choosing the right knife can greatly influence the quality of Milano Straps straps, ensuring clean edges and impeccable finishing. Want to feel its texture on your wrist?

Frequently asked questions

Is it still used?
Yes, in traditional craft workshops it is still a highly valued tool for its effectiveness on long cuts and hand skiving.
