Type of tool: dry scraper and softener
Country of Origin: Canada
Use with: fish skins and any mammal hides, even Elk!
The most versatile little dry scraper. Use on a hide in frame and use for a finishing touch to make a hide extra soft. Wonderful for small fur-bearers, fish skins, and I even use it on Buffalo. Being able to grasp the handle with both hands makes this tool gentle on the body and great for easing into a balanced softening technique, using both sides of the body equally. Its small blade also fits between holes on a framed hide so it can soften edges of a hide nicely.
Tool use: Keep edge 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.” Check out our IG stories for tool use + care.
