Leather Edge Skiving Beveler Tool,Wide Mouth Leathercraft Trimmer

I have been using these for a couple of months to give an accurate review. I have been very pleasantly surprised at how well these inexpensive french edgers have worked. They arrived reasonably sharp, but I put a razor's edge on them. Now I just strop them with green compound after each use and they have maintained that razor's edge. They glide through every leather I've tried them on, including Crazy Horse oil tanned that my standard edger won't work on at all. I rarely use them on edges, as I use my straight knife for that. But they worked fine for that when I tried them on it. I use them to thin out 7-8 leather down to 4-5 for wallets and notebook covers. It's a bit like mopping the floor with a toothbrush on a large piece of leather, but they give me a clean, even cut so it is still a net gain in time. Best of all, I do not have to replace expensive razor blades with these. Just clean and strop them and put them away. They are well-balanced and easy to hold and work with. Overall, great quality for the price. I would highly recommend this set.

I’m quite pleased with these tools. Cut through 5oz veg-tan like soften butter. Good product good value.

These slivers are an excellent value. They come fairly sharp, but will want sharpening soon after initial use. They are made of good-quality materials and were delivered on time! These really did good work on a project I was making to help me get a feel for how I would approach skiving in the future. This is an excellent value for the price and I would buy them again.

These work perfectly and for the price you can’t beat it. As long as you take care of the tools and sharpen them I don’t see these having problems. They are strong enough for the work I am doing and feel nice in the hand. I recommend them if you are looking for a more cost effective alternative for sure.

Just received these 3 tools, and got them out of the plastic bag for examination. The handles appear to be a form of ash or oak. They are nicely shaped. The finish looks even but left a little rough to the touch - which is not a problem for me. The ferrels are tight and appear to be of decent quality. I was most happy with the sharpness of each tool. Sharpening these requires some skill and a special sharpening process. So I VERY happy that they came sharp, and the metal looks good - not super cheap. I am a seasoned woodworker who can recognize good tools. These are not top of the line, but I expect use and be happy with them for a long time.

Not sharp out of the box. Had to work hard to get an edge on it, but doesn't keep the edge for even one long cut. Better off paying more for a better beveler.

These work as well if not better than some of the much more expensive Bevelers. They appear to be very well constructed also!

This knife is razor sharp. Be very careful. Not the best build quality but it’s not bad for the price. I appreciate this set of tools, they say you get what you pay for, and in this case, it’s reflected in the quality of the steel. I guess I’ll be sharpening these a little more often. But again as I said, it’s a fair price.
