Types of Leather Edging Tools

A few types of leather edge tools include:

Edge bevelers: Bevelers work quickly to round off sharp edges, especially on soft leather, to prevent fraying.
Edge burnishers: Use an edge burnisher to smooth sharp, and rugged edges while sealing them for a polished look.
Edge trimmers: Trim your leather workpiece by cutting and shaping the edges to the desired width.

Benefits of Using Quality Leather Edging Tools

The benefits of using quality leather edging tools include:

Professional finish: Edging tools can enhance your project’s look by providing clean, uniform edges.
Durability: Our edgers are made with high-quality stainless steel and American hardwood maple handles for extra durability, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Ease of use: The handles are ergonomically designed for improved working comfort.

How to Choose the Right Edging Tools

Your leather project will determine the ideal edging tools. For example, the common edger’s wide-angled blade is ideal for straps due to its beveling and edge-rounding function. The Western edger is commonly used in saddlery projects, as its bent tip offers more consistency throughout the project.

The project’s intricacy also determines which tools you use. If you’re new to leather crafting, we suggest starting with basic edging tools. As you gain experience, try different tools to suit more complex project requirements.
