The Mini Round Knife is a compact and versatile leatherworking knife, designed for controlled freehand cutting. Its smaller semi-circular blade makes it particularly well suited to precise push cuts, tighter curves and more detailed work.
The full-tang blade is made from 1.5mm Sheffield O1 tool steel, hardened to 57 HRC and vibro-polished, with the classic George Barnsley logo engraved into the blade. The handle is shaped to sit comfortably in the hand, giving greater stability and control when cutting.
Each knife is hand-fitted with your choice of Anjan, British Beech, Ebony, Rosewood, Walnut or Zebrano handle scales and finished with mineral oil.

Care
O1 is a high-carbon tool steel and requires some care to prevent corrosion. Keep the blade clean and dry when not in use and apply a light coat of oil periodically, particularly if the knife is being stored for any length of time.
Over time, O1 steel may naturally develop a patina. This is normal and will not affect the performance of the knife.
Please Note
Our knives are made as working tools and may show minor cosmetic marks from the manufacturing and finishing processes. These can include light scratches, marks or occasional surface pitting in the steel.
These cosmetic variations do not affect the performance or functionality of the knife.
