Hey guys,
Just curious what you guys have come across as being the best of the best when it comes to edge bevelers? I started out with Tandy not knowing any better a couple years ago. Then I picked up a couple Barry Kings which were an improvement. However, my Dad bought some tools from a retired leather worker recently that included 3-4 Don King bevelers and WOW, it's like using a hot knife cutting through butter. Makes everything else I had used up until that point seem like using a butter knife to try and cut paper.
Anyway, the reason I'm asking is my Dad let the best ones roll off the table onto concrete and you can guess what the results of that was. I am now searching to replace that beveler with something comparable and would like to know what your opinions are of the best out there regardless of price? A search of leatherworker.net revealed people regard "Ron's Tools" being right up there but I'm wondering if you all know of anyone else I should look at? Thanks, I always appreciate the advice!
