As a leather worker I thought I had some talent since I'm self taught and make some pretty good holsters,wallets,belts etc. Then I watch this guy and like blown away. The way this guy just skives and uses that skiving knife is next level. I mean it was so even and paper thin. Very nice. I hope you throw on a nice price tag. That burnish he got,wow.
