Not the best quality control but it works

When delivered, the edge was not straight and square, but sharpened well. I just reprofiled and sharpened the edge and now it works great. The handle is well made and the blade seems to hold a decent edge when cutting. I wish there were wider sizes like 12mm. Also, I think Owden is a decent brand overall.

Pros
  • OWDEN Professional French Style Wide Blade Sharpening Tool is a very good tool for all types of leather work. A very good tool for leatherworking.
Cons
  • Minor issues

Much better quality than I expected

This edger (skiver) ran right from the start with no problems and with the skin I threw at it. After sharpening and sanding the SomaTone, I polished it to a mirror finish and it's ready for cutting. It also seems to be holding up well. I assume a small change now should get it doing its job again. Nice and comfortable grip too. I would compare this to the son of the ones I've used in the $50-$80 range.

Pros
  • Try me I will bring you a very pleasant experience.
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

A few extra dollars goes a long way.

This is the first purchase of Owden tools. It was sharp right out of the box. I tried it without refills and was very impressed. I'm new/amateur at leatherworking so I don't have an excessive budget for tools and materials. However, I'm usually disappointed with the cheap off-the-shelf tools sold at Michaels and other craft stores. So I took a leap of faith and hoped a little more for the quality I needed and now I won't buy anywhere else. This is a good reliable tool. Creates a clean thickโ€ฆ

Pros
  • This tool can cut vegetable tanned leather, making the cut part of the leather thinner. Usually used anywhere on the back of the skin.
Cons
  • Exorbitant price
