We work in leather handcrafting and cut meters of leather everyday (Bags &amp; Book covers). We use knifes. Can we use this tool for leather?

I am sorry but the shears are too light weight and the leather would be too thick course for these shears, but the best of the best for other materials to sew.

I don't think they are sharp enough to cut through cloth clean. Leather is hard and it works well on it . I would not think you would get clean cut results.

I would think so, but I never used it on leather - I have found that less is more, but in doubt call the manufacturere

Absolutely, I've found this to be one of the best survival/backpack/small sharpeners on the market today... Get some jewelers rouge for the strop-side to assist in BEYOND SHAVING SHARPNESS on any half decent blade. it will also help the leather last longer... I bought one for my toolbox shortly after I bought the first one for home...

The blade comes down and slides to the left as it drops. I don't know if it slides enough to cut leather. If you tell me what type of leather you are trying to cut maybe I can find a piece and try it out for you.

I would not sew leather with this machine. You could do two layers of very light leather, but I would not advise this if you have another machine. It is working with stress with four layers of cotton. I use my old Kenmore for light leather and my heavier machines for serious leather applications. This machine's forte is the multiple stitches and needle placements available not its strength.

Dremel does not indicate this tool is appropriate for use with fabrics. The VersaTip multipurpose tools is ideal for wood burning, soldering, hot-knife cutting of Styrofoam™ and plastics, leather products, cutting and fusing rope.

What is it you want to do? Almost any of these knives can make a 1/8th inch cut. Are you carving figrures, reliefs, or woodcuts?? I am msainly a woodcut artist. These tools are fine for all those purposes. Learn to keep them sharp. If you have more questions, email me at nicholascrome@yahoo.com. Or phone 812 339 2245.

Hello, I really have not used it for wood working tools and other tools I think it will to some extent for small tools, but what I know for sure is its a dream come true for knives.There is two other models for woodworking and metalworking that are made specifically for these jobs, you might want to check the website http://www.worksharptools.com/ I hope this helped answer your question

It will probably do that, however I doubt if it is made for that kind of work. You will probably wear out the knife pretty quick.

Probably so. However, I would prefer the serrated version. Makes it easier to saw through material easier.

Yes, you will need a hammer, preferrable a rubber or plastic one. You will also need to sharpen the punches so they will cut better. I have used several of these punches to cut leather.

Not really setup for Leather. No knife edge for cutting. The cut would not be clean as a leather hole punch.

I'm using mine in making a big mountain man butcher knife sheath , but suppose you mean in the handles or ? They are very substantial & can be purchased long enough for that purpose although I have not used them in this manner , don't know why it would not work.

I have never tried sewing leather. But I would guess it can. I use it mainly for quilting which really beats on a machine and it meets the challenge and does a great job. It is really sturdy.

I haven't had to sharpen them yet. They are very sharp right out of the box. The lower blade has a mild seration to it so sharpening that might be a issue but the upper blade is a straight edge so that should be easy to reshape. I guess for that question you would need to call Leatherman. I did you them again this weekend end and they went right through two shirts and a sweatshirt and a backboard strap with no issue. The guys leather belt was a minor hindrance but it chewed right through it. Still love these scissors!

The black and Decker is awesome for most fabrics and crafts, I find the skill Cutter great for leather, SKIL 2352-01 3.6-Volt Lithium-Ion Multi-Cutter
