What Is This Tool Called?

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me what this tool is called? I've looked around different online leather tool shops and can't seem to find it. It would be easier if I knew what it was officially called. I like the edge it produces, I just don't know what to call it. Beveler, creaser and "magic edge tool" don't seem to show this tool in any google search.

Thanks in advance.

I think the official name for the tool is a single line layer creaser, but I'm not a 100% sure. I have a couple that I use occasionally when i want to dress up the edges.

Very nice and interesting tool. Would love to have one in my shop. Always enjoy new and interesting tools, especially if I can create an other then normal look.

Let me know if you ever learn where they might be sold.

God Bless.

I see the edge it makes on all kinds of leather products on "instagram", finally found a picture with tool in it, but the person only types in a Asian language. When I open the page in Chrome and translate the language, the name of the tool isn't there.

Hell, I should have done this to start with. Thanks "northount" Tom for the idea.

Hi Dan,

i've found it.... through my broken understanding of Cantonese/Mandarin, the user on Instagram stated that he bought it from Taobao (china's equivalent of eBay)

Here's a link to what i've searched on TaoBao.

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.55.DVjeGw&id=38915871578&ns=1&abbucket=12#detail

Here's another version:

http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.14.41.DVjeGw&id=42999710192&ns=1&abbucket=12#detail

What you would like to type in the search box is: 边线器

Which translates to (Literal translation) 'Side Line Tool' and is pronounced as Bien Sian Ji.

I've not bought from TaoBao before but perhaps i may give it a try and see how it goes.

Cheers,

Frederick

Update: 押捻 in the first link is the one you are looking for, it comes in 2.0mm, 2.5mm, 3.0mm, 4.0mm and 5.0mm.

押 (Pronounced as "Ya") is to ''PRESS'' down, and as you would know the next would be the double pronged version which is under 溝捻

溝 (Pronounced as "Neah") is to "Pinch".

If there's anything else, feel free to ask.

Happy crafting!

I missed this thread earlier. I have made these from large round and layer single line creasers that have been worn on the creasing leg. I have done a few other things with old creasers too. I have a few out right now for feedback that have a beadline in the edge and a bevel to the inside of the bead.
