superpacker Report post Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) Wanting to obtained a subtle rounded edge on belt straps - and seems this is the tool to do so? My standard 2 seems to just give a hard 45 degree to any existing 90 degree where it seems that the Keen creates more of a rounded edge. If so, what size to do need for 8-9 or 9-10 oz? Looking for a barely rounded edge NOT an almost domed edge that takes lots of the grain side off Edited January 19, 2018 by superpacker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fredk Report post Posted January 19, 2018 I use a regular edger, on both flesh and grain side edges then the edge becomes rounded when I work it with my slicker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carson Report post Posted January 23, 2018 I think that a number 3 would do you good for heavy leathers and 2 would be good for medium leathers (5-7 oz) and 1 good for light leathers (2-4) oz hope it helps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greygeist3191 Report post Posted June 8 I've had good results with the Jeremiah Watt/Horseshoe bevelers. For Belts I use a #2 front and back for standard 8-9oz. For thicker and gun belts I use a 2 on front and a 3 on the back. If you have a 3D printer you can print extra handles Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
