Why do you use a flat knife in leather processing
The use of flat blade round knife in leather processing is mainly based on its high cutting accuracy, flexible operation, strong adaptability, good cutting quality and high safety, as follows:Sources：www.apocrest.com | PublishDate：2025.03.25
1. correct cutting: leather products usually have requirements for various shapes and sizes. The circular blade of the flat blade circular knife can provide a stable cutting line during cutting. By rotating the knife, it can cut correctly along the preset contour, especially suitable for complex shapes such as cutting curves and circles, which helps to ensure the dimensional accuracy and shape correctness of leather products and reduce the generation of waste.
2. flexible operation: the flat mouth round knife is small in size, light in weight, and flexible in the way of holding the knife. The operator can easily control the direction and strength of the knife as required, and can quickly adjust the cutting direction in the cutting process. For some leather parts that need careful treatment, such as leather edge trimming, local hollow cutting, etc., the flat mouth round knife can give full play to its advantages of flexible operation to achieve effective processing.
3. strong adaptability of materials: there are many kinds of leather, including cow leather, sheep skin, pig skin, etc., and different leather texture and thickness are different. The flat blade round knife can choose different blade thickness, sharpness and material according to the characteristics of leather. For example, for thicker cow leather, you can choose a flat edge round knife with thicker blade and higher hardness; For soft sheepskin, you can use a flat blade round knife with thinner and sharper blade to meet the cutting needs of different leather.
4. good incision quality: when cutting leather, the flat edge of the flat blade round knife can make the pressure on the leather incision evenly distributed, so as to produce a smooth and flat incision. This high-quality incision is conducive to the subsequent leather processing procedures, such as sewing, pasting, etc., which can make the appearance of leather products more beautiful, and also reduce the problem of leather damage or strength reduction caused by uneven incision.
5. high safety: compared with some cutters with serrations or sharp protrusions, the circular edge of the flat edge circular cutter is relatively safe. In the process of leather processing, operators are not easy to cause serious injury due to accidental contact when they frequently use knives. At the same time, the handle design of the flat blade round knife is generally in line with ergonomics, which can effectively reduce hand fatigue and further reduce the safety risk during operation.
