How wide is the skiver blade? Would like to skiv a 1.5" piece of leather in one pass.

The skiver blade is 1 1/2" wide and mounted in a bowed position. The bowed in the blade prohibits a "flat" 1 1/2" skiv.you may want to look into getting a round knife.

The blade is arced. It only skivs up to half an inch in one pass, even though the blade is much wider.

I don't think you can do it in one pass. but you might try the other design skiver. It's more like a wand instead of a T formation.

This extreemly useful tool has a blade mounted in it with the cutting edge just a 1/16" shy of 1.5". While it works fine trimming knife sheaths with 3 or 4 layers of thick leather, I never have used it to trim anything close to 1/2 " The tool uses standard old fashoned double edged shaving blades for ease of replacement. I don't believe it would be useful to trim a 1.5" leather piece in one swipe. Good luck in your search. Joe from San Francisco

Dude!!!!!!!!!!!! It's not the width of th blade. It's the width of the relief in the skiver. You should be able to get a good inch with this skiver. This is why we use it a lot for beveling. It's top notch for that. To get a good inch and a half we use a head knife and sometimes a bevel-edge skiver which will take off that much or more but even we always practice first with scrap leather to make sure we get it right. You might be able to google skivers and find one like the style here on amazon with a larger relief.That would be neat. Let us know if you do. Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi. In answer to your question, the blade itself is 1 1/2", (1.5"), wide. The effective cutting width when affixed to the tool appears to be 1 5/32" at best. The tool has good heft to it and if your leather is firmly secured you might get close to what your target is. Try it on a scrap piece first. Good Luck, Joe D.

The knife is slightly under 14" inches by itself; with the leather case 15"

Yeah brother, looks like 1.5 is maybe max for my leather sheath, but let me warn you, it's REALLY TIGHT. You'll need to "break it in" w/ a leather protectant like Lexol, mink oil, maybe even Vaseline. I'm going w/ a nylon black aftermarket (NiteEyes (sp?) or maybe a Black MUT sheath.

It is the 1.5". I researched the "ASIN" product number before buying and it was the 1.5". I received the correct width as well when I ordered from this listing.

Yes, one inch width. The thickness is thin, not as heavy as a typical motorcycle tie down.

5.5"W x 2.75"H x 1"Thick If you add the clip the thickness will be 1.5". Did you read my review? Great look, horrible clip design, the leather it tore at the seam within 2 days of normal wear.

First one I ordered thru Amazon was 1.5 inches. I realized upon recieving it that it was too skinny so I contacted the company who gave me an ra# to return it to them for a wider one which is 1.75 inches. It cost me shipping but it was worth it. 1.5 is like a dress belt and simply won't hold a proper rig.

11/16" by 1 & 7/16" (would be smaller width but knife blade protrude a little)

The blade is 1/4 thick steel at the back and tapers forward. And for the sake of being thorough, at it's widest point it is 1 & 1/2 inches wide and 6 & 1/2 inches long. It is PLENTY of blade for ANY task.

From outsider edge to outside edge, the width of the blade is 1 1/4 inches or 32 mm.

my knife is 1 3/4 in. wide and 9 in. long, is straight and fits perfect in the bowie sheath, hope this helps.

it's 1.5 inches wide. I own it so i'm not guessing. It is NOT BIGGER than that.

I measured the widest sot and it is 2 inches. It fits my wusthof santuko knife, but I am sorry, I don't know the dimensions of the cleaver. I hope this helps.

probably 5/8" at the thickest park of handle. sheath clip is at mid way point, so there would be a lot of knife handle flapping around above boot.

1.25 inches at the hilt, tapering to 1 inch just before it rakes up. Good knife!

The blade is 1 1/2 wide. I use it for my toy and mini poodles and it works well on the face. It is QUIET and can be used corded or not. Excellent clipper!
