1/4" Straight Swivel Knife Blade

The 1/4" Straight Swivel Knife Blade is an excellent all-purpose replacement blade for leather carving. Designed for clean, controlled cuts, it's ideal for traditional Western floral carving, scrollwork, borders, and other medium to large carving patterns.

The straight cutting edge glides smoothly through vegetable-tanned leather, producing crisp, accurate cuts that are essential for quality tooling. Whether you're replacing a worn blade or keeping an extra on hand, this blade delivers the performance leatherworkers expect for everyday carving.

Sized to fit all of our standard swivel knives, this versatile blade is well suited for beginners learning the art of leather carving as well as experienced craftsmen creating detailed floral and figure carving. Its 1/4" width offers an excellent balance of control and coverage, making it one of the most commonly used blade sizes in leathercraft.

Before carving, take a moment to buff the blade on a leather strop. Stropping removes tiny burrs and drag marks from the cutting edge, allowing the blade to glide more smoothly through the leather. It's a quick step that makes carving easier and helps produce cleaner, more controlled cuts.

Please Note: This replacement blade is designed for use with standard swivel knives and performs best on properly cased vegetable-tanned leather. Regular stropping helps remove burrs and reduce drag for smoother, more consistent carving.
