Leather Splitters



Patented Leather SplitterKrebs 1884 Patent 9" Leather Splitter   This is a very well made and precision leather splitter. The patent # is 306,760.   The thickness of the cut is regulated with  the ratchet type device on the rear.  You would set it to the desired thickness there, then pull the lever in the front to open it a bit, feed the material in and pull.  It clicks into position with great accuracy.  There are approx 50 click positions, and the depth bar moves about 1/2 inch overall over that range.   The blade is sharp and looks to be full thickness.  There is easily 95% or more of the original japanning.  There is one tensioning thumbscrew missing on one side to help set the upper roller.  Different and very unusual.
