Barnsley McKay Stitcher Knife

This is a Barnsley brand McKay Stitcher knife, traditionally used for carefully cutting off thread ends inside a shoe.  It's a great small trimming knife to have on your bench.

As with most traditional leather knives, this skiving knife will need some sharpening on a fine sharpening stone or file card before first use and regular freshening with a strop and some polishing compound over the years.
