2 emails later still not a word from ranchtoarena very discouraging hoping there's not an issue or that its maybe a simple oversight... almost broke down and bought the WUTA brand off of Amazon the other night sigh can't win for losing lol!

Have you checked out Goods Japan? They do rounded edge bevelslers that come with their open sharpening tool and they recommend what size beveller to use with what thickness leather. Any tool I have bought form them have all been good quality.

 Yea,  I looked just not a huge fan of waiting for things to be shipped from overseas seems shipments from there take particularly long to TN

Douglas, King and Watt all make great edgers. I don't think you could do bad with any of them.

Older Osbornes and the like also do a great job.

Having shipped stuff in the past to the USA, I can tell you ( because I investigated ) the delays are entirely stateside with customs and homeland..things shipped can get to the USA in a few days..and then sit for weeks or even months , with US customs or homeland , before they get released to complete their journey to the customer..happens less with DHL, fedex or UPS ( because they are paying for expedited customs clearance ). but can still happen..EMS ( which is what Goods Japan use ) I have used..tracked it..3days from my door to touchdown in the USA..then 6 weeks in US customs..my customer ( member of US prison's service ) was not pleased at all.

Item was clothing..

If you buy Douglas tools, you are dealing direct with Bob and Lee Douglas. Lee is quick about shipping, the flat-rate box usually hits the mail in a day or so. Quality has been uniformly excellent, and for those that care, you are supporting a small domestic maker of fine tools, though I could say that of others as well.

Yea i just with douglas had a real website where we could order all the tool. 

 

Its 2017, get with the times.

 

Actually, lots of toolmakers are in the same boat.

I get a line with my Craftool Pro edgers, also. The "heel" for want of a better term, is what leaves the line, unless I really lean the beveller over. With thin leathers, I have to put another piece of leather under it, or hold it on the edge of the table to the right amount of lean to avoid the line.

yep, same here...

 Called the nice folks at ranch2arena actually got to speak with Mr. Watt himself they were out of country hence no replies to my email queries about the QC edgers. He gave me a very clear and concise explanation about the "line" that the edgers made in the video and that some users are getting.  It's not a product deficiency more of a user issue and how the edgers should be maintained.  I ordered the 6 piece set today.  Also if there is any interest they are made of 1075 spring steel which is a good carbon steel, very tough and very good for holding an edge.
