guide parage du cuir
In this guide and thanks to our video, learn how to trim leather and make a ledge.
The trimming knife is a tool used in leather goods to thin the edge of pieces of leather: leather trimming.
It is useful for assembling: sewing 2 pieces of leather together without creating any extra thickness ( thinning the leather ) but also for dressing the edges ( making a rim ).

CARE OF THE TRIMMER KNIFE

You must sharpen the paring knife very regularly: we advise you to watch our video on sharpening .
SEE THE GUIDE >

HOW TO CHOOSE YOUR KNIFE TO TAKE?

If you know how to sharpen your tools, we advise you to take a straight paring knife (as in the video) or an oblique one . The choice between the straight and the oblique is made according to your preference, on our side we prefer the "straight".
The knives are not the same if you are right-handed or left-handed: this is indicated in the article sheets. If you are a beginner, we recommend the paring knife with interchangeable blade (no need to have sharpening skills).

For beginners, we advise you to choose (at first) a "razor type" paring knife which is easier to handle.

Bonjour JP,
Merci beaucoup ! Le choix du couteau à parer ne se fait pas en fonction de la largeur de la lame qui généralement ne varie pas beaucoup mais davantage par sa forme : si vous savez affûter vos outils nous vous conseillons de prendre un couteau à parer droit (comme sur la vidéo) ou oblique. Le choix entre le droit et l’oblique se fait en fonction de votre préférence, de notre côté nous préférons le “droit”. SI vous débutez le couteau à parer « type rasoir » est vraiment pratique !
Bonne journée, l’équipe Deco Cuir !

Bonjour,
Merci beaucoup pour ce tuto très bien expliqué. Comment choisit-on entre différentes tailles (largeur) de couteau à parer ?
