Type of tool: dry scraper and softener
Use with: any hide in a frame, but especially large hides (Deer, Elk, Cow) to dry-scrape.
A sharp and quick scraper for large, thick hides. The S scraper is a slightly heavier weight than the long-handle dry scraper. It has a sharp bevelled edge on each end for swift motions and getting into every nook and cranny of the hide.
Some tanners like to keep one edge dull and one edge sharp to turn the S Scraper into two-tools-in one: a softener and a dry-scraper.
Made from forged steel by Hammarede Forgeworks blacksmith in Sweden.
Tool use: Hold the S scraper with both hands, placing one hand on the bottom S curve and one hand on the top S curve. Scrape in a downwards motion. Keep edges super sharp while dry-scraping. When using more as a softening tool, you can let the edge get dulled a bit and apply more pressure once dull.
Always move this tool in a downward motion to keep the bevel intact: “bevel up, scrape down.”.
8.5″ long x 2.5″ wide x 2.5″ deep
