How would you sharpen this leather die cutter?
Basically crossposted in r/leathercraft
I bought the cheapest version of this die cutter on Amazon (like $5 no reviews) so I’m not surprised that’s it’s not sharp and it’s worth experimenting how to sharpen it.
However, It basically broke my leather press(also cheap compared to professional types) because it is so dull. It broke/bent a metal band I had wrapped around the press to keep it from moving up…(which is a separate issue) so I can fix it.
And it still didn’t really cut all the way through. It can make enough cuts as an outline but I would love to actually use it “properly”.
I have a better similar style set of circle dies that work so I know it’s the die and not my press (or the leather, I tried different types)
Also I am open and would love to hear any good tips/advice/places/videos for sharpening different leather tools in general. I’ve looked at knife sharpening videos and things but it never hurts to learn about things more specific to leather tools.
