Members Larry Posted October 6, 2015 Members Report Posted October 6, 2015 Just bought a bone folder from Tandy. It has groves on the semi circle at the top. What are these used for? Thanks everyone, Larry Quote

Members Larry Posted October 6, 2015 Author Members Report Posted October 6, 2015 Thanks, JL, I kinda figured that, but wanted to know for sure. Larry Quote

Members capsterdog Posted October 6, 2015 Members Report Posted October 6, 2015 Both for edge slicking and making crease marks on the edge. Works well once you get the hang of it. Quote
Members Hawk Scarbrough Posted October 26, 2015 Members Report Posted October 26, 2015 Burnishing edges. I'll be durned. Thanks. Quote
Members slipangle Posted October 26, 2015 Members Report Posted October 26, 2015 I always wondered why they still call these a "bone" folder. I suppose plastic folder doesn't have that ring to it. Quote
