What it does
Square point knife #6 with a wood handle and a 5" x 1" x .058" blade. It is the longest and widest numbered square point. The lighter .058" gauge suits soft leather and fabric, where the #5 is stiffer at .065".
How to use it
- Clamp the guide and pull the cut continuously with the square end riding the board.
- Hold the knife low to slice and flatter to taper.
- Use the stiffer #5 if the blade flexes. Keep your support hand behind the stroke; the handle has no stop.

Common questions
What is the #6 best at?
Long draw cuts: cutting and tapering straps and belts, trimming larger assembled leather, and running long lines through soft leather and fabric.
Why is the bigger #6 less stiff than the #5?
Its gauge is .058" against .065" on the #5. It is made for reach and a lively edge in soft stock.
Can I splice conveyor belt with it?
No. Belting is .083" work. Use the belt knives 60450 or 60510.
#6 or the 60570 of the same size?
Both are 5" x 1". The #6 is .058" for leather and fabric bench work. The 60570 is .065" for production cutting.
