V2 Geji Adjustable Leather Belt/Strap Cutter -Walnut & Micarta
V1 vs V2
In continuous efforts to improve product's durability, we've introduced the V2 version. Here's what sets the two versions apart:
V1:
- The entire tool, including the adjustment bars, is crafted from walnut wood.
- Over time, some users experienced issues with the walnut adjustment bars cracking when screws were tightened with varying force.
V2:
- The body of the V2 is constructed from North American walnut wood.
- To improve durability, the adjustment bars on the V2 are now crafted from micarta, a robust and resilient material. They are meticulously designed to mimic the color and texture of walnut wood, ensuring that the V2 maintains its classic aesthetic and familiar feel.
For client who purchased V1:
If you have purchased the V1 version and are concerned about the potential for your wooden bars to crack, you can purchase additional Micarta bars to replace your wooden bars. Please note that the extra Micarta bars do not include screws, so you will need to use the screws from your existing V1 walnut bars for this replacement.

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.
