OWDEN Professional Edge beveler for leather craft (1#), Leather tool.

Fit and finish is decent enough, although the grind on the reverse side isn't perfect it still does its job well. Compared to the absolute garbage that comes in a cheap kit, this edger makes edging nice and consistent out of the box. I have the #1 version and it takes off about 0.6-0.7mm off the edge. The photo shows the shavings on a 5-6oz leather piece. I can definitely recommend this for hobbyists.

I’ve no complaints, only praise for these excellent edge tools. Received a 2mm for Christmas and after using it I ordered the 4mm. Finish and fit are on par with much more expensive edgers and exceed some notable brands. Mine arrived highly polished on every surface and very sharpe. Cutting surfaces are symmetrical and most certainly have been stropped prior to my receiving them. Periodic stropping has kept them extremely sharp. Handles appear to be ebony and are very nicely finished. The edge tools are slightly angled and very easy to use. It is not unusual to edge completely around a large journal cover making one long tiny spiral of leather. Cuts are smooth and clean with no roughness at all. While I would love to source my tools from the USA, having to spend 5-8 times the cost of these edgers just to get equal quality is just not in my budget. I’ll pass these down to my grandchildren.

Great for my projects Not sharp enough but i Sharp by myself with strop and polishing compound

Just received this beveler (#1) and it looks great. It arrived sharp. Works perfectly on my 1-2 oz veg-tan leather. I bought the #2 and #3 earlier. I just decided to get all 5, so I ordered the #4 and #5. All are brilliant. Packaging was much better than I expected, and they come out perfectly sharp and ready to go. I saved my #5 so I can do an unboxing video and demo. Coming soon.

Understand that numeric sizes are not a universal standard. For example the Owden #1 compared to the Tandy No. 1 in these pics shows how wide the differences can be. The Owden #1 is for very thin leather whereas the Tandy #1 is for thicker belt weight leather. I learned this the hard way! Now, with that in mind, the Owden #1 does a good job taking off a very very thin curl off a 1-2 0z leather. I still am not sure how you would sharpen it and I found it prudent to purchase the next two sizes up for the leathers I am working with in addition to a set of edgers for thicker belt and tote bag thickness leather. I elxpect if you are doing watch straps,billfolds and such this would be useful. In my applications it was not.

I am blown away I was needing a new tool to help me with cutting the edges of my wallets. And let me tell you guys major major game changer my customers loved the wallets. I was really in need for this tool Rocky Mountain leather supply was out of the size of tool I needed so was every other website with a long waiting period. Guys just read the description it’s one tool. Don’t complain about the price because other places they sell easily above $50. For almost $30 it is an amazing tool gets the job done clean and precise.

These work very well. As good as some of the other more expensive edgers.

Very week built, beautiful tool, great quality and cane sharp right out of the box. Speaking of the box, the item packaging was outstanding. You can tell the care went into these tools and at this price point, that's awesome to see.

Have bought several edges from Amazon most online stuff requires sharpening out of this box. This does not. Not experienced enough to know what great quality is with leather work tools but it is quality

Very happy with this. It came very sharp and bevels light leather easily. I haven't had luck with Owden tools before but this was a pleasant surprise. Would recommend.

Great little edger for a fantastic price

it works ok, but nothing special or the price.

Arrived sharp-ish (just needed a bit of a hone) and works smoothly.
