Imported leather edger first impression.

[ContactCement]

Affordable quality leather edger right out of the box.
When placing the order I knew very little about the manufacturer or how well they would perform. These were reduced and had limited quantities under $10 each with free shipping.
The listed or advertised measurements or specifications for the bevelers is accurate. I think some manufacturers have different specifications or ideas about what a  defines their #1,  #2  or  #3  This #2 is much smaller than another #2  I purchased.

Material:High carbon steel + solid wood. 135mm,(5.31"） long.

Manufacture process: Quenching treatment. Sharp and smooth.

No.1 comes with 0.8mm wide bevel, works better for 1.0-2.0mm thick leather (thin)

No.2 comes with 1.0mm wide bevel，works better for 1.75-2.65mm thick leather (medium)

N0.3 comes with 1.2mm wide bevel, works better for 2.2-3.2mm thick leather (thick)

The metal sounds like its tempered (just like other tools in my wood shop) when gently flicking it with a fingernail.
The edge beveler does in fact cut veg tan leather right out of the box.
The edge beveler arrived faster than expected. The cardboard box described was inside 2 bubble mailers.
The edge beveler has a clear tubing to protect the cutting edge and was inside a mini zip lock bag, then packaged in a foam lined rectangular cardboard box with the brand name on it.

Soooo... where did you acquire them? What name brand are they? And I am sure they are probably from China? EBay Maybe?
