I'd recommend an edge beveler. It's one of my most-used tools - http://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Leather-Factory-Edge-Beveler/dp/B001QT4XA2/
I'll also recommend the Tandy Safety Skiver like others have said. - http://www.amazon.com/Tandy-Safety-3001-00-Replacement-3002-00/dp/B00IVS667Y/
Edit: You might think about finishing supplies you will want as well. Dye, neatsfoot oil, and I also like the Aussie Leather Conditioner. If you will be dyeing, spend good money on lambswool applicators, they are worth the money. I recommend the standard Fiebing's alcohol based dye over all others.
I recognize the value of good tools but I'm taking an introductory leatherwork course and although it's really interesting I don't know whether I'll be pursuing this craft anytime soon. The classroom has a skiving machine but only the teacher can use it. Would an inexpensive knife work or would it be uncomfortable or even dangerous? I saw these two on Amazon. Please bear in mind I'm one of the least dexterous people you'll ever meet.

With the safety skiver I would definitely say you need some practice on scrap and to be careful because you can easily go all the way through thin leather like that.
