🔪 Tandy Leather Adjustable V-Gouge 8082-00: Optimal Tool for Precise Leather Carving Review

This V gouge has been a great addition to my Arts and Crafts supplies. The adjustable feature allows me to easily change the depth of the cut and that makes it perfect for shaping leather. The blade is sharp and makes clean cuts in the leather. The only downside is that the handle isn't very comfortable for extended use, but that is easily solved with a grip cover. Overall, I highly recommend this tool for any leather crafter.

The leather notch is well made and all the pieces fit together very well. It is very compact, so it fits comfortably in your hand when working. The adjustment screw worked fine.

Maybe I expected too much from this tool. The blade kind of floats at the depth you hold it, so it's not as accurate as I was hoping. I want it to have an up and down print when setting. Not enough control. I have to admit that I would not buy this product again. It sits on a leather tool stand looking at me, never used.
