Skinning without a knife may be preferred if the animal is in good enough condition. This is "punching" off a skin. From what I have read about TL2 (boat building and general crafts) there is an indication that specific purposes called for leather from specific animals. Porpoise hide ropes was one reference I recall as is cat skins for gloves, Otzi had shoes constructed from bear and deer skin, his clothes were made from at least 4 other species of animals.

Re: Low-tech tool kits: leather
To add a bit more confusion --
at TL 2(?) or TL3 the art of leather tooling(carving and stamping designs into the leather) could be a skill that could accompany leather tanning and leather construction. For that I might suggest the an artist's (whitesmith?) metal working tools as a base for figuring price.
