# Best Edge Bevelers for Clean, Rounded Leather Edges Source: https://leatherworknest.com/best/best-edge-bevelers Publisher: Leatherwork Nest. Our score is an editorial rating out of 10 (fit 35%, features 25%, build 20%, value 20%), not a customer rating. Method: https://leatherworknest.com/how-we-research#our-score An edge beveler shaves the sharp corner off a cut edge so it can be sanded and burnished into a rounded profile instead of mushrooming over. The tool is simple, a small grooved blade on a handle, but size matters more than brand: a beveler that is too large digs in and thins the edge, while one that is too small barely marks it. Sizes are not standard between makers. Some number their tools from 1 to 5, some give the cutting width in millimeters or fractions of an inch, and one maker's size 2 is not another's. As a rule, thin wallet leather takes the smallest sizes and belt or sheath weight leather takes the larger ones. What separates good from bad is steel that takes and holds an edge, a cleanly ground groove, and a handle you can steer at a steady angle. This guide compares single edgers from established leather tool brands with budget multi-size sets, so you can buy one size for the leather you use most or cover several thicknesses at once. ## Picks ### 1.
