I have a couple of new leather skiving knives, and in this video I show you how I sharpen them, so that they can cut through leather like butter! I use a mix of oil stone and then a couple of diamond stones, basically working my way down the grits. Finally I strop the blades and test them out on an offcut of leather. I hope you enjoy the video...there are lots more in my Leatherwork Playlist.
Note: I mention the maker of these knives, but I bought them with my own money, and this is not a sponsored video, I just think they are nice quality and good value.
