Description
The Stainless Steel Folder is a durable and versatile tool designed for leathercraft, offering significant advantages over traditional bone folders. With a slightly rounded edge, this folder resists cracking and ensures long-lasting performance.
The polished stainless steel surface is smooth enough to prevent damage to leather while being much harder than bone or plastic alternatives, making it resistant to burrs or deformation even with extended use.
Designed with practicality in mind, this folder features three chamfer sizes, each serving a specific purpose:
- Smaller chamfers on the tip and sides for precision work.
- Larger chamfers on the bottom for broader applications.
Additionally, the holes in the tool make it easy to hang on a tool wall, keeping your workspace organized.
Please note: Mirror polishing is applied after casting, leaving the inside of the hole unpolished. Minor surface imperfections or light scratches may be present due to the casting process, but these do not affect the tool’s performance.

There is not much to say about these folders. They are simple (as all folders are), have smooth edges and because of the steel you can apply much more force without having to worry that it might break. I have a bone folder and still ordered this one since it is inexpensive and a great addition to my tool collection.
