A solid walnut adjustable strap cutter for producing clean, consistent leather belts, straps and strips.
The Geji Adjustable Leather Belt / Strap Cutter is designed for cutting leather into straight, even strips at a consistent width.
Suitable for both beginners and experienced leatherworkers, it can cut straps up to approximately 65 mm wide, making it ideal for belts, bag straps, handles, watch-strap blanks and other leathercraft projects requiring accurately sized strips.
With a little practice, the cutter allows you to produce repeatable strap widths quickly and consistently.
The main body is made from walnut wood, giving the tool a traditional appearance and comfortable feel in the hand.
To improve durability in the adjustment mechanism, the bars are made from micarta, a strong and resilient composite material.
The micarta components are carefully finished to closely match the colour and texture of the walnut, helping the cutter retain a consistent, classic appearance while providing greater durability in the areas subject to repeated adjustment.
The cutter can be adjusted to produce leather strips and straps up to approximately 65 mm wide.
Once the required width is set, the tool helps guide the leather through the blade to maintain a consistent cut along the length of the material.
The cutter is supplied with one blade installed and two additional replacement blades.
We also offer packs of 10 pre-cut 18 mm replacement blades sized to fit the cutter, which can be purchased separately.
Alternatively, standard Japanese-style 18 mm snap-off blades can be used, provided they are cut to the correct length before installation.

How to adjust the tool
Two crossbars firmly hold most weights of leather. If the leather is 4 mm in thickness, adjust the crossbars to 4.5 - 5 mm for better cutting. The principle of setting the spacing of the crossbars is slightly larger than the leather thickness but not too much. Before cutting, make sure the two crossbars are parallel, you can adjust 3 brass screws to achieve this.
In addition to adjusting the width, it's essential to focus on setting the appropriate distance between the two bars.
The first distance is managed at the blade's end and is controlled by the screws used to secure the blade.
The second distance is regulated by the screw at the opposite end of the blade, and its level of tightness or looseness will result in varying distances. It's crucial to ensure that both sides maintain consistent distances for smooth cutting.
Finally, tighten the largest screw at the top to lock the two bars securely in place.
