Description

The tool shown in your image is a Leather Swivel Knife, the fundamental instrument for carving intricate patterns and designs into leather. Unlike a standard craft knife, it features a unique yoke (the U-shaped cradle) where you rest your index finger to apply downward pressure, while your thumb and middle fingers rotate the knurled barrel to steer the blade through the leather.
Essential Swivel Knife Techniques
To master a leather carving scene, focus on these core professional principles:
  • Prep the Surface: Before carving, the leather must be “cased” by dampening it with a sponge and allowing it to soak in until the leather almost returns to its original color.
  • The Master’s Grip: Place your index finger in the cradle of the yoke, your thumb on one side of the barrel, and your middle and ring fingers on the opposite side.
  • The Professional Cut: Slightly tip the blade back so only the leading corner engages the leather, and always pull the knife toward you using your whole arm.
  • Turning Curves: The turning motion comes from a combination of moving your arm and using your fingers to rotate the barrel within the cradle.
  • Blade Maintenance: A dull blade will drag and create jagged lines. Keep it razor-sharp by stropping the edge frequently on a leather scrap with jeweler’s rouge or polishing compound.
