Type of tool: dry scraper + softener
Use with: Any hide. As a dry scraper, it will peel layers of skin on the membrane side and clear away ground substance/corium on the grain side. As a softener, it will stretch the fibres of skin apart to soften.
This tool is a custom design by Fern + Roe, made by Upcycle Forges in Seattle.
We took our classic head knife and added another bevel - meaning, you can go up and down, side to side with this tool without thinking about which direction the bevel faces. This dry scraper is also slightly heavier with thicker metal than the standard head knife + it has a more rounded edge for greater versatility.
Measures 4″ x 6″
