Synonyms: skiving knives, skife
Material: leather

A skiver is used to "shave" leather to a smaller thickness. This is usually done on the rougher "flesh" side. [1]

You might want to do that in a section that will be bent, or to cut sloping ends on pieces that should be joined without adding to the overall thickness.
