There is a bit of an offset to the handle vs. the bar. Also the handle is a little fuller to the right side. The Sauerbiers I have are all right handed.

My first call would be to Melanie Machine in Vernon, CA. Phone number is (800) 894-9268. They are sure good people to do business with. Bruce Scott,

I am interested in buying a splitter to split leather to very thin thicknesses such as used in ladies shoes (~.025"). It would need to be able to split 8-10" wide. Which type or model is best for splitting this thin? Any recommendation for a source would be appreciated as well. Thanks, Scott Hi Bruce,

I don't have a source for someone routinely making blades, but I have talked to a knife maker who said it was something he could do. The price for that was higher than the value of the splitter though. Ron,
