The Slicker blunt tool
What’s it for:
Softening all hides
Flattening bark-tan hair-off leathers
This is a single-bevelled tool so one side is flat and the other has a bevel (edge).
To soften a hide in a frame, think “bevel up, scrape down” while holding the tool 90 degrees to the hide.
To use The Slicker for flattening bark-tan hair-off leathers, lay your leather on a clean and dry flat surface, hold the tool 40 degrees or so to the leather, and lightly scrape and smooth the leather.
