dirtclod Report post Posted November 30, 2010 The one on the right is used in boot making. I can't remember what it's used for though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Report post Posted December 1, 2010 Tool on the right is a welt plow (plough), I believe. Kevin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffchucker Report post Posted December 8, 2010 thanks for the feedback. Not much the wiser lol. Really appreciate your input, I have a starting point with the tool on the right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oldtimer Report post Posted December 11, 2010 (edited) The tool on the left is for cutting a channel and the tool on the right is a welt cutter. A welt plough is something different . Both tools are shoemakers tools. / Knut Edited December 11, 2010 by oldtimer Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bootsmt Report post Posted December 12, 2010 The tool on the right is called a welt knife but is not used to cut welts on boots and shoes. It is used to trim the heel rand . The rand is the top layer of the heel on a shoe or boot. It lays on the leather about 90 degrees out from the boot and it has a lip or fence that allows the blade to reach only so far. Lay it on the rand and with pressure go around the heel to trim, level, it. Frank. Hi Could anyone shed some light as to what these two tools are and how they are used?
