Recently purchased an inexpensive skiving knife from J. Hewitt & Sons.
It needed some work to sharpen the blade correctly but for less than £6.50 it was worth a punt.
Very pleased so far and it seems to keep its edge well. I usually strop the blade every 5 or so cuts. Just need to wrap the handle now.

An update on this knife. It was my go-to knife until recently. I’m now using knives from Crimson Hides in Singapore. They do two which are sharpened and tuned straight out of the box which is a bit of a bonus. They’re a little more expensive but the thing I like is that they are relatively small and more comfortable to use and keep their edge with the help of Phil’s stropping system!
