Most of the skins offered here are chrome tanned, they work as can be seen above but better options may exist.
I should have said scalpel blades can be stropped, not honed, on a piece of leather with compound added. Same technique for keeping inletting chisels razor sharp.
I am not a leather option. Best way is to try 2 versions and see which one is best.
Yes I have seen people using leather to sharpen knives, but never tried it. Would like to see a video on the process. I am sure it is great way of sharpening the blades for the skiving machine and Xcto blades
