Edge Bevelers/Edgers
Edge Bevelers or edgers are used to take off the square edges on leather. Larger size number tools will round the edges more. Please consider that size numbers are not standard. The newer makers like Craftool and some Osborne styles are smaller in the same number than some of these listed. Feel free to contact me for any questions regarding appropriate sizes.
Bench Mount Edgers
Leather straps are pulled through these bench mounted edgers to bevel the top edges on two sides at once. To do all four edges simply flip the strap over to bevel the bottom edges. These are a real time saver in the shop and result in consistent edges.
Round Bottom/Round Back Edgers
Round Back Edgers are used to round over the edges of leather and will have the longest life, as well as being easiest to maintain the cutting edge. Most will also do a tight inside curve like on a belt slot.

Edge Shaves
Edge Shaves are a European tool that cut a flat profile for edge beveling. They have a longer life, are easier to sharpen, and have better edge retention than the flat edge bevelers commonly sold in the US.
