Looka this baby... the orange thingie with the x-acto blade... very good for cutting thin skins for small items like the doll parkas I'm doing. Very maneuverable on this dress parka from "parky" or Arctic ground squirrels to be trimmed with ermine and probably ruffed with Russian gray squirrel strip.
And you hold it so it is supremely control-able...
Before you cut these skins, you have to wet and stretch them... you put water on the skin side, fold it in on itself for a bit, open and stretch so the pattern piece will fit and you can draw it onto the skin with a write in the rain pencil or, when dry, a permanent fine line marker. Other pens transfer from the skin onto your fabrics and leathers.
