Mastering the Blade – Precise Leather Cutting Technique

Summary of Key Points:

• Always keep the blade perpendicular to the leather surface.

• Use a “pulling” force on the knife, not a “pressing” one.

• You can cut with several light passes to ensure precision.

Practice Exercise:

Now it is your turn: Take a scrap of leather and practise cutting 10 straight lines and 10 curves. Our goal is to let your hands get used to the feel of the knife and the leather.
