Swivel knife
text:
A swivel knife is a chisel-edged blade held upright and mounted on a pivot with a saddle for a finger. It is held somewhat like a pencil, but between the thumb and middle fingers, while the forefinger rides in the saddle above. The saddle is free to rotate and in more sophisticated models, may rotate on ball bearings. The swivel knife is used to outline and cut a design into the surface of leather as an initial stage to tooling the leather with decorations. The blade is ground to a 30Deg. angle
