Very good video. I notice the vacuum extraction tube funnel shape is different to any other I have seen before. Is this a Nippy standard one or one you have made? What is it made of?
When you use a Fortuna knife, do you use Type "S" or Type "K"? Have you noticed a difference between the Nippy knife and the Fortuna knife? I've been using a Nippy 301A, which is made of SKS51 steel. I think I should try a knife made of hardened German steel.
@@ViaromanaLeather I'm doing my due diligence to find reputable Chinese sellers that are selling authentic parts. It is still possible to find normal prices that are less than the wild western mark-up.
though Japanrse/German one cost 3times more, I would only use trusted fortuna/nippy blade since I only replace them once a couple years. Everything (chinese) is cheap for a reason
@@ViaromanaLeather I just received a Chinese machine and have hopes to improve skiving soft calf from 1mm to 0.5mm by installing Nippy knife. The machine handles everything else fine. Skiving down to 0.7mm is no problem. Going thinner is risky.
@@ViaromanaLeather I did run out to the hardware store for a larger screwdriver. I finally got the stock Taking knife off and the 301A on. The difference really is amazing. Everything is easily 20% to 30% smoother.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! 감사합니다!

I do not remember which one I used. but lot of Chinese fake blades out there. If they are too cheap, I say you stay away from.them.

@@pequodexpress Never cheap out on blade though... trust me there is difference in quality. German and Japanese know their steel.
@@ViaromanaLeather I do trust you. When you use a Nippy knife, which one do you use: 301, 301A, or 301N?
@@ViaromanaLeather Do you have any thoughts on the Tecon Star knife? It is made in Italy of hardened German steel.
If you have ever used a Chinese bell knife on that machine, have you noticed a big difference between that and a Nippy knife?

My Nippy 301A finally arrived, but the four knife screws are too tight to be removed. Might you have any suggestions?
just use a biggest tight fitting screw driver or use automotive ratchet driver.

Super helpful!
Thanx!
Was that narrow blade worn down from grinding?
yes, all knives will eventually wear down
@@ViaromanaLeather Approximately, how long would it take to wear down a knife like that skiving for two hours every day?
@@pequodexpress couple years?
