Edger Preference

[rickeyfro]

Can I get some of you guys' opinion on what brands of edgers are the best, not so much bissonet but more common, western & rounded types. Rick

Hi Rick,

I can't say they are the best, because I'm sure there are a lot better ones out there, but Tandy has Craftool Edge Bevelers and Crafttool Keen Edge Bevelers. I don't like the Craftool Edge Bevelers because they seem to put more of a straight cut edge on. The Crafttool Keen Edge Bevelers put more of a rounded edge.

Here's the link: Edgers

Take care,

Butch

I've only ever used Dixon in the past and a couple of Osborne bisonettes but last year I bought 3 of Ron's edgers and they are far better to use than the old Dixon ones and are easy to sharpen when they get dull. Pity I won't be buying any more this year as our dollar is only worth 62 cents today.

I fancy Barry King's line of grooved bottom edgers. I think they are the best bang for the buck. They're more expensive than tandy, but less expensive than ron's or Jerimiah Watts. I've used Ron's and still prefer Barry's. I haven't tried Watt's so I can't compare, but Bruce Johnson loves 'em and I'd respect his opinion any day.

I have a set of Rampart edgers that I really like. Sorry to say I have lost one but I´ll try to find another one.

I had a set of Ron's round bottoms. They were very good, but I spent the money and replaced them with round bottoms from Jeremiah Watt. Theyare good too. I also like Jeremiah's Vizzard pattern edgers for some things. My first grabs now are bisonettes though for routine edging, especially anything with a lining. I have bisonettes from Bob Douglas, Barry King, and Jeremiah Watt to fill the sizes I want.

Hi, I had been using craft tool edgers in the past and just recently bought a set of edgers from Weaver's the master tool edgers, they are really good edgers without breaking the bank! I also have one of J. Watts saddle skirt edgers and OMG it is great! The absolute best I have ever used! All of Watts Horseshoe brand tools are really well made and work great. I would expect nothing less though from someone who has been around leather as long as he has. LOL, Alan

I am a hardcore McMillen common edger fan. They cut great, are easy to sharpen and cost less than $10 a piece!!
