Lace Cutter
Designed for our own leather workshop, this lace cutter has been an essential tool for many years. The white oak handle is easy to grip and holds an injector razor blade. The maple cutter fence adjusts the lace width from under ⅛ inch up to just over ¼ inch. The wood is unfinished and would take an oil or a stain nicely. The lace cutter is simple and durable. Two razor blades are included with each cutter. Made in USA.
Although the lace cutter is adjustable, we find it easiest to use multiple cutters set to each width we routinely need. For more information on using the lace cutter, please see David Morgan's book Braiding Fine Leather or our video snippet at How to Cut Lace.
