Edger for thin leathers

Recommended Posts

Hey Guys

It's been a few years since my last post!

Question: What edger can you recommend for thin (1 mm / 2-3 oz) veg tan? Especially if you have curved edges.

I am using the Barry King 00 Grooved Edger, which i generally like. But for curved, concave edges it's not that great.

 

Cheers

Barry King sharp curve edger?  Smallest size is 1 however.  Works good on  slot punched holes.  I don't usually do anything too thin.

I'm not sure what you mean by curved, concave edges.  I have a Barry King #00, a Palosanto #0 and a Ron's Montana #1.  Although the numbers are all different, the size is all the same.  Ron's works better on thinner leather than the Barry King.

I think he means something like the cutouts on the card dividers in the wallet below.

+1 on the Ron's tool. I use it on the linings of holsters.

ANY edger will do that radius. You don't need a special tool for that.
