Leatherworking Hand Tools
Crafted With Pride

For years, Ron Edmonds worked as a Saddlemaker and Casemaker. Throughout his career, he purchased and used many commercially available leatherworking tools.  Unfortunately, he found that virtually every tool had to he reworked before it was useful. Time consuming heat treating and sharpening were necessary before the tool would perform adequately.

From Ron's experience with mass produced tools came a determination to design and create professional quality leatherworking hand tools. Consequently, after the sale of this leather business in 1985, Ron embarked upon the design and manufacture of a PREMIUM line of hand tools intended for the meticulous leatherworker.

The first of Ron’s tool line was a series of twelve (12) sizes of straight bottom French Edgers. The cutting sizes range from 1/16” to 3/4” in width, in 1/16” increments. Each tool is numbered by size.

Tool blades are made from I54 CM tool steel, individually hand machined and heat treated to a Rockwell hardness of 62c. This process creates a sharp, durable edge which is ready to begin work as delivered.

Tool handles are made from Cocobolo with no slippery surface finish. The tool handle is mated to the blade then braced with a seamless brass ferrule. The handle is specially designed to allow for nearly effortless work, because it lays naturally in the craftsman’s hand.

Most sizes of tools are immediately available for delivery. However, purchasers should contact Ron for availability of sizes in stock.

Ron firmly believes his line of tools is the finest available. He plans to expand the realm of tools offered and is eager to hear from leatherworkers regarding their tool needs. New tools will be announced to those who have asked to be included on Ron’s Mailing list.

All tools that bear the “Ron’s” logo are guaranteed for life against defects of material or workmanship. If the original purchaser of a tool is dissatisfied for any reason, the tool may be returned for replacement or full refund. This guarantee is void if tool is used for purposed other than the intended purpose.
