• Fleshing knife — A traditional crafting tool consisting of a curved knife or a metal scraper provided with fine teeth or a sharp blade, used in tanning and furriery to clean flesh remnants, fat, and to smooth the back of animal hides. It originates historically from Turkish, acting as a basic structural element in the manual process of tanning and leather conditioning, ensuring a supple, flexible texture and an extremely fine finish of the final material.
