Opening knives - Swivel knife - pushing back work
The opening knife, also called swivel or swivel knife, allows you to incise the leather to give relief to your pattern (leather pushing). It is a metal tool composed of a sharp blade made of steel, ceramic or stainless steel. The index finger is positioned on the stirrup, the thumb and middle finger on each side of the handle as if holding a pencil. The index finger controls the depth of the cut while the other fingers are used to rotate the tool to make the desired shapes. The incision of the leather with the pivoting knife is done before the pushing work. Adjustable or non-adjustable pivoting opening knives for precision cuts!
The 7/32" fixing blades are compatible with all opening knives from the Oka, Tandy Leather, Ivan brands... The 1/4" fixing blades are only compatible with Barry King Tools opening knives.
