Looks can be deceiving, this simple looking knife is a must. Commonly used to thin leather for bookbinding. It's available in different style and size based on personal preference and technique. Made from solid 2.5mm blank of Sweden Sandvik steel, purposely selected thinner stock(2mm) that will feels light in hand and easy to maneuver.

Great skiving knife
I struggle with skiving but this has made it a lot easier. What I like best is no handle and it’s razor sharp

Great knife for skiving or any cut you need to make. Give it a couple passes on some stroop and it glides through like nothing

These are decent for the price. The edge retention is poor (they require frequent sharpening/stropping, perhaps every 12-16" of cut length) compared to higher carbon steels. On the plus side, they sharpen quickly and a razor edge is fairly easy to achieve. I bought all three to test, I find the small and medium size to be the most useful.
