James, thank you.

It is great to hear that the knife is a joy to hold and use. We hand forge our blades from 52100 carbon steel right here in our workshop to make sure the weight and balance feel right for real work. I am glad that effort shows in your hands.

We would love to see some photos of what you end up making with it.

Refined Craftsmanship ‘to-a-T’

I purchased this first set of leather cutting tools back in May of 2025, which took a bit longer to receive than I was hoping. So I emailed Forged Steel Tools in the Ukraine, and they assured me that they were a legitimate blacksmith shop and that I’d receive my order within the next week.

When the set arrived, I was supremely pleased with the quality of the product(s), and they’ve been my “Go-To” tools ever since, and I have many.

Since that 1st shipment, I’ve also purchased their set of French Skivers as well.

I’m truly pleased with the look, the feel in the hand, and the performance of the cutting blades.

Thanks guys, I look forward to my next purchase.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear that you’re happy with your leather cutting tools and that they’ve become your go-to set. We truly appreciate your continued support and your kind words about the quality, feel, and performance of our tools. We look forward to serving you again with your next purchase!

Love my new tool!

How did I get by without this? Clean easy to control cutting. Nice thin slicing blade with good edge retention. Easy to maintain if your comfortable using a strop and hones well on ceramic rods.

This has been my main since day one.

I've tried just about every brand of head knife under the $200 mark and this blade out performs all of them.

I have this round knife and use it daily, it is

I have this round knife and use it daily, it is my favorite out of the 4 different ones I own, it stays sharp longer and is a joy to use, that's why I have ordered the smaller version of the same. Impatiently waiting for it right now.

Hi Bill, thank you.

It is great to hear our round knife is your daily go-to and that you already ordered the smaller one. We hand forge these from 52100 carbon steel specifically to hold that lasting sharpness for everyday work.

If you get a chance, we would love to see what you craft with them.
