Members DLL Posted March 1, 2008 Members Report Posted March 1, 2008 I'm new to this forum but wanted to tell about the Bissonnette Edgers that we have for sale. My husband makes these edgers of high quality stainless steel flatware. He has made his own leather working tools for years because the ones he bought from suppliers always seemed to not be exactly what he wanted, so he would have to modify or put it in a drawer never to be used! That was #1 reason for making these edgers, #2 reason was the COST of the edgers purchased from our suppliers. Sharpened and ready to use, these edgers will hold an edge as well as expensive stainless steel edges. These unique edgers have a flattened handle which prevents it from rolling off workbench. We guarantee you'll like the quality for the money or we will refund cost of the edgers but NONE of the shipping costs. We have sets of (4) edgers of commonly used sizes; prices range from $60.00 + shipping for a set of 4 with different patterns or shaped handles; OR a set of (4 edgers) with matching handles for cost of $80.00 + shipping. I have noted complaints in the forum of excessive shipping costs especially on Ebay, we charge actual cost of Insured Priority Mail according to your zipcode.

Members DLL Posted March 2, 2008 Author Members Report Posted March 2, 2008 Have I seen these posted somewhere else? Yes, we have them listed on Ebay as well. Have sold sets in 5 countries as well as in the US, so far all have been more than pleased with them.

Every time Dave picks his up to use, he says "I cannot believe I used those "other" things as long as I did!" DLL
Members awharnessshop Posted March 2, 2008 Members Report Posted March 2, 2008 I used them more today, I like them. They have a good feel. decent "heft". I used the biggest one #4 on some 12 oz harness leather, and it was getting to the belly, so it was a bit spongy and they glided right threw it. I used the#1 and #2 on some 10oz bridle leather, they cut excellent!. At first they took a little getting used to... But I am pretty damn happy with them! -Andrew

Members Duke Posted March 2, 2008 Members Report Posted March 2, 2008 im interested in buying some, but I dont need a whole set.do you sell them individually or just as a set? also, do you take credit cards? I can do paypal. LOL Duke When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything you gave me." ~Erma Bombeck
HorsehairBraider Posted March 2, 2008 Report Posted March 2, 2008 Duke's question is a great one... also, do you make a very fine one? I only use leather that is about 1 oz or sometimes less, but still have a need for an edger. Do you make special edgers like this for people? They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer.
