Alisdair Report post Posted June 11, 2018 Hi guys...I'm in the market for a good French skiver. Any thoughts on Barry King versus Horseshoe brand tools? Any other good candidates in that price range? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alisdair Report post Posted July 5, 2018 ...so, I finally went for Palosanto Factory 12 mm edger. It's hands down the best French skiver I've ever had. Razor sharp from the get-go, and it can with a nice stropping board and some rouge to go with it. I tried it on some frankly crap and fuzzy veg tan and it glided through everything beautifully. I quickly made a cover for the end to protect it, as I do for all my tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In terms of quality and finish I'd put the Palosanto and Ron's tools in the same bracket...but I've only seen one tool from each manufacturer...others might want to chip in with their 2 cents' worth.
