What it does
Flexible skiver knife K770 with a 4" x 13/16" x .042" blade of hardened high-carbon chrome vanadium steel, 19 gauge, in a smooth hardwood handle. Hyde catalogs it for cutting rough spots in tire casings. The thin blade bends to follow a curved surface.
How to use it
- Lay the blade almost flat and take thin layers in several passes rather than one deep bite.
- Draw the blade; a downward push digs a step. Let the blade bend to follow a convex surface such as a tire casing.
- Hone it fine and often, since a dull skiver tears and skips. Wipe it dry after wet or solvent work.

Common questions
What is skiving?
Thinning rather than cutting through. You lay the blade nearly flat and shave material off in thin, even layers.
Why is the blade so thin and flexible?
It bends to follow the surface. On a curved tire casing, a stiff blade skips and gouges.
Can I do the tire repair with it?
No. It prepares the surface. Patching or section repair takes other tools.
61350 or 55170?
Same thin flexible gauge. The K770 is cataloged for tire and rubber, the 55170 for leather.
