Tom26 Report post Posted July 2, 2020 (edited) I recently acquired these two tools along with some others. One tool (tool No. 1) appears to be some sort of edge skiver. It has a a smooth face very sharp blade. There is a edge guide on one side. Tool No. 2 has a corrugated kind of face and and edge guide. I have know idea what it is or how to use. Please help .

billybopp Report post Posted July 2, 2020 Those are cobbler tools. The skiver-like tool is essentially a plane, sometimes called a heel shave (or some variation thereof) - It's for shaping the edge of the leather sole. The other tool - the name escapes me - the wheel version is called a fudge wheel - but it's pretty much for putting that fancy corrugated pattern on the outside top of the sole/welt. I'm not a cobbler, so forgive me if I don't have the names right! LOL. Maybe somebody will come along that can help me out on that and correct as needed. -Bill Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tom26 Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Thank you. I was thinking maybe shoes. Was going to look at some shoe building references. I have some interest in this so cool to find the tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom26 Report post Posted July 3, 2020 Found out the second tool is called a seat breaker. It’s used while installing a heel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
