doe Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Hear me out. I was in the skiver section of a site that sells leather tools and in with the purpose-built skivers was a German pedicure tool--a corn/callus shaver. That got me thinking. Tweezerman makes a callus shaver that's readily available in the U.S. at Sally Beauty stores, and you can get replacement blades easily. It's under $6, so a bargain compared to Tandy's. I'm just starting out and already $200+ deep in tools, so I'd rather save wherever possible. Any reason this won't work for light skiving along the edges of leather? It's a bit creepy to think about this way but shaving down a callus is basically skiving your foot... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
25b Report post Posted April 28, 2015 I bought one a while back...the one I got had a thick, plastic handle which snapped the second or third time I used it. Pretty much worthless. Would be a lot better if you can find one that is solid metal... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doe Report post Posted April 28, 2015 Thanks, that's good to know. I used to have one in my pedicure kit but I got rid of it. Now I'm kicking myself. I did just discover that a cuticle remover works as an edge beveler in a pinch... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
