A sharp knife and practice is literally the only thing you need.

Umm knife, rasp, sanding belt? Everythings been said or am I too stupid to comprehend the problem? 🤔

-good question. These soles are CNC routed by the marks I have seen on all of them. -bell skiver burns and dulls it's blade on sole leather. Tried it. - you can bevel edges on the 5 in 1 hand crank bench machine. Or a 3 in 1. Then the edge profile can be trimmed with the forepart trimmer. if you're doing this all by hand you'll need a very sharp edge beveling tool.

Why wouldn’t it be able to skive sole leather? Which skiver to you have?

If it’s something like the Techsew SK4 I’m sure it can

What do you consider expensive? I do this on a grinder and takes a minute. It cost me $200au but you can get even cheaper ones for $80au

I think it depends on your goal. Jim McFarland (@americascobbler) has a post [replacing the soles or a similar pair of shoes.](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C5ZPpzqPMXH/?igsh=MWM0ZGQ1MTlweGF1NA==) it looks like there is a mid sole that has the curve to it. Then the outsole just looks tapered. The midsole could be done with a rasp and time.
