Tool Talk: French Edger

How to use a French Edger.
A comprehensive instructional on making your leather pieces thinner with a French edger tool!
In this video, Shane explains the differences between a traditional skife and a super skiver compared to this leather tool. If you've used any of the tools mentioned above and still find it difficult to use, the French Edger might be the leather tool you needed to make your leather the correct thickness for your DIY project or your leather brand!
We can't wait to see what you'll make!

    Very helpful tool and tips. Got it a month ago, made skiving so much easier as I had to hand skiv with my knife before.
