Hello I just wanted to say I am very pleased with my purchase of the edge skiver. I was apprehensive to purchase any brand of edge skiver due to there cost and what if questions I had. But I gotta say, I am super happy I went to Palosanto.
Functional and beautiful tool. I highly recommend purchasing from palosanto.
The tools were well packed arrived sharp straight from the box. Beautiful tools, the additional strop was a lovely surprise. The tools are very well made and excellent quality. Will definitely recommend to other leather workers.
So impressed with the quality of the steel. Makes leather working and edge work a breeze. Highly recommend.
Thank you for high quality tools, fast delivery and special thanks for value lowering, so I didn't have to pay 18% tax! God bless you!!!
There is a reason why these are so highly praised; they are incredibly sharp and handle even very soft leather with ease.
Yes, as the title says, very sharp from the off.
This is the third item I have purchased from Palosanto and have not been disappointed.
The edge beveler arrived in the suggested time via the Royal Mail (UK), the item was well protected with the shaft in a cork sleeve. The first time I used it, wow, so sharp and a pleasure to use.
I’ve tried all of the high end edge beveler’s and these are the best. Edge last a very long time on these. Good quality work with the steel to match
I thought nothing would surprise me in my life anymore, and then I received a shipment from Palosanto factory and our life and work with leather changed completely. The accuracy, sharpness and precise workmanship of the tools from this set was a huge surprise and Palosantos has become my favorite tool brand. I already know that I will want all the edge cutters, because they are the best. Thank you very much that someone can still produce such quality tools these days. Tomas from Czechia.
I ordered the french edger on july 2nd and I still have nothing in my hands to review as of july 19th. Im sure the edger will be great if it ever arrives but unfortunately slow shipping will affect my next purchasing decision.
I was about to order a couple of edge bevellers and was choosing a wood colour when I realised I’ve never heard about any of those woods before and decided to google them. Turns out EACH wood available to purchase is in an endangered or at least vulnerable category of the IUCN Red List (endangered means “Very high risk of extinction in the wild” and vulnerable is high risk). I realised that while shopping solely for a leather crafting tool I’m also involved in a rare woods trade, which for me is absolutely unnecessary. Presumably most other leather crafters don’t need a wooden handle from an endangered specie either, since we want the best tool for the job, not a rarity ready for a museum. On this note I wish Palosanto would tell more about sourcing of their woods, as well as introduce more common wood choices so that I can have a somewhat clearer consciousness buying them.
Rating of three stars is of no meaning since I made no purchases yet, but I wish to since the tools appear to be very treasured amongst the community for their great quality.
Palosanto’s products are always of the highest quality and the maul is no exception. If you are after tools that will outlast you and give you the result you’re after then you can’t go past these. Also the customer service is amazing. I had a small issue whixh was dealt with quickly and professionally, further reinforcing why you just can’t go past Palosanto tools. Highly recommended.
Incredible quality, but balance is off
The material quality and craftsmanship of this maul are truly incredible; you can immediately tell it is a premium, well-built tool. However, the head arrived slightly off-center. It is a beautiful piece of equipment, but the assembly issue prevents it from being the perfect tool it should be.
I got the 8mm and it's incredibly sharp, well-balanced, and provides excellent control for skiving. The lignum vitae smells amazing :)
Highly recommended for any artisan looking for quality and consistency.
