Leather Lace Thinner (Skiver)

$175.00

The Leather Lace Thinner is an essential bench tool for baseball and softball glove work, designed to precisely reduce the thickness of leather laces for smoother threading, tighter knots, and cleaner, more consistent finishes.

This tool allows you to peel down heavy or stiff lace to the exact thickness you need, improving flexibility and control when working through tight holes, narrow channels, and layered glove construction. It’s especially useful when restoring older gloves, matching replacement lace to original dimensions, or preparing lace for detailed relacing patterns.

The adjustable design lets you fine-tune both cut depth and bevel angle, making it suitable for a wide range of leather weights and applications. Whether you’re thinning new lace or reworking existing material, the results are repeatable and precise.

Designed to mount securely to a workbench, the Leather Lace Thinner provides stability and leverage for controlled, professional-level leather preparation in any glove repair or restoration setup.
