What we liked

  • + Same Osborne #67-1 pattern as the unavailable knife: a 4-1/8 inch by 1-1/2 inch blade with round beveled, hand sharpened edges.
  • + The listing describes high quality steel and a hardwood handle with a nickel plated ferrule for long life.
  • + Made in the USA and sold as an all-purpose leather knife that is also used as a skiver, so one tool covers cutting and thinning.

Trade-offs

  • - A broad all-purpose blade is less precise for thinning small areas than a dedicated skiver or a safety beveler.
  • - Priced as a traditional hand tool, above generic skiving knives, and the listing mentions no sheath or replacement blades.
