I need to split some leather and I need to build something like this:

In use:

Except I'm not making belts so I need it about 15/20 centimeters (6/8 inches) wide.
Where do I find a cheap blade that's very sharp (or can be made very sharp), wide enough to fit the whole thing, but also sturdy enough to not break on me?
I was thinking some sort of replacement blade, but the ones for real leather splitters (pic related) cost more than $200 and I'm pretty broke so I'll go for the cheapest acceptable option.

I need to be able to purchase it from Italy (where I live).

Thank you very much in advance.
