The Hand-Forged Strength of Our 2-Piece Straight and Round Leather Knife Set
At Forged Steel Tools, we specialize in crafting high-quality cutting tools from 52100 high-carbon steel, favoured for its exceptional edge retention—a crucial feature for frequent leather knife use. This steel ensures clean, precise cuts, making it an excellent choice for leatherworking.
52100 high-carbon steel meets the ASTM A295 standard, providing consistent quality and reliability. Through careful hand-forging, the steel’s fine grain structure enhances both sharpness and toughness and ensures great performance in our 2-piece leather cutting knife set.
As a high-carbon steel, 52100 requires proper maintenance to prevent rust and corrosion. Regular cleaning and oiling will keep your knife for leather in top condition, ensuring longevity and efficient performance.
