Members tomsmith85717 Posted September 6, 2019 Members Report Posted September 6, 2019 I recently learned a style of attaching uppers to the sole. It involves making two parallel lines with a stitching groover and then running a french edger in between the the groover cuts. this allows a place for the rolled over upper to sit flush in the bottom of the shoe. So I am looking for professional tools to do professional work. Here is my question, I am looking for good professional versions of the tools. I like to use them with a reverse grip and pulling towards my body, so they should be usable ambidextrously. I am torn with several ideas getting 2 cheap handles and fitting good replacement blades from high end groovers into them that way I never have to adjust them as you are always setting on at 1/4" and the other is at the width of the french skiver. getting a Ron's tools groover (how deep can it groove into the leather? i need about an 1/8 of an inch depth) getting something like a barry king groover... who is making really good french skivers in the 1/4" width these days. I have large but not abnormal sized hands. Quote
