Head knife

IT: Coltello da banco

Definition

The head knife is an essential tool for any leather craftsman. Its curved blade allows for precise cutting of leather strips and preparation of pieces for belts and bags. The robustness of the material and ergonomic shape make it ideal for skiving large surfaces, ensuring a clean and even cut. This tool has a long history in leatherworking and remains crucial for those, like me, who seek perfection in details. Choosing the right knife can significantly impact the quality of Milano Straps, ensuring clean edges and impeccable finishes.
