What it does
Leather skiver knife #3 Sole with a 6-3/4" x 1" x .072" blade of hardened high-carbon chrome vanadium steel, 15 gauge, in a smooth hardwood handle. #3 Sole is a grade, the heavy-gauge skiver for dense hide.
How to use it
- Pare sole leather against a hard, seamless bench surface, not a soft mat.
- Use a low angle and firm, repeated strokes along the taper instead of one deep pass.
- Keep your support hand behind and beside the stroke; the bare handle has no guard. Stone, strop and wipe dry after damp work.

Common questions
What does #3 Sole mean?
It is a grade, not a size in the square-point ladder. The 55190 is the sole-leather skiver, .072" thick, for dense hide.
Why is a skiver this thick?
Sole leather is too dense for a thin blade to follow. The heavy gauge overpowers it and holds its line.
Can I use it for garment leather?
You can, but the thin skiver 55170 follows thin, supple leather better.
Does it fit the 56500 belt sheath?
No. The 6-3/4" blade is longer than the sheath's 6" straight-blade capacity.
