Abstract: A leather working tool and a method for cutting a leather strip. The strip cutting tool for cutting a strip from a sheet of material having an aperture formed through the sheet of material and a strip end formed at a peripheral edge defining the aperture. The strip cutting tool includes a tool head adapted for placement at least partially through the aperture formed through the sheet of material. A tool shaft is attached to and extends from the tool head. A strip cutting blade is connected to and extends from the shaft along a plane that lies substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the tool head. The strip cutting blade is positioned with respect to the tool head at a distance defining a desired strip width. The strip cutting blade oriented radially with respect to the shaft so that as the strip end is pulled between the tool head and the strip cutting blade, a continuous strip of a selected width is cut from the peripheral edge defining the aperture.
