Is this the right tool for your job?

✕CHOOSE A DIFFERENT TOOL WHEN
  • Cutting through material. A skiver thins; it does not sever. Through-cuts in rubber, belting, or hide belong to the square points and the mill knife.
  • Heavy or forceful cutting. The .042" flexible blade is built to shave and follow, not to be driven — force will bend or damage it.
  • The tire repair itself. The K770 prepares the surface; the patch, plug, or section repair is a separate process with its own tools.
  • Prying, scraping, or striking — a thin flexible edge is the most abuse-averse blade in the line.
  • Heavy sole-leather skiving — the .042" blade folds under thick hide; the #3 Sole skiver (55190) at .072" is that job.

How the pros run it

01

Flat, not deep

Skiving is a shallow-angle shaving cut: lay the blade almost flat to the surface and take thin layers in several passes rather than one deep bite. The flex of the .042" blade lets it follow the surface; work with the bend and let the blade ride the contour. Draw, don’t gouge. A drawn shaving stroke removes an even layer; a downward push digs a step. Keep the edge keen. A skiver only works sharp — a dull skiver tears and skips instead of shaving — so hone this blade fine and often. Follow the curve. On a tire casing or any convex surface, let the blade bend to the shape; fighting the flex is how you gouge a round surface. Maintain it: high-carbon steel, honed keen and wiped dry after wet or rubber-solvent work. The value of a skiver is its fine, flexible, sharpened edge.

Asked before buying

BUYER QUESTIONS, ANSWERED BEFORE YOU ORDER
What is skiving?
Thinning, not cutting through — laying the blade nearly flat and shaving material away in thin, even layers to taper or dress a surface.
Why is the blade so thin and flexible?
So it can bend to follow the surface it's shaving. On a tire casing's curve, a stiff blade skips and gouges; the .042" flexible blade rides the contour.
What's it actually for?
Hyde catalogs it for paring rough spots from tire casings — preparing a damaged zone down to sound rubber before a repair. It also does light leather and material skiving.
Can I do the tire repair with it?
This tool prepares the surface; patching or section repair is a separate step with its own tools.
61350 or 55170?
Same thin flexible gauge; the K770 is cataloged for tire/rubber, the 55170 for leather. Buy by the bench.
Will it rust?
High-carbon steel — keep it keen on a stone and wipe it dry after wet or solvent work. A skiver only works sharp.
