Swancraft's adjustable V-Gouger is an indispensable tool for leather workers looking to make sharp lines and folds in tooling projects. The adjustable knob allows for easier control and adapts to different depths, giving you flexibility in your work, and is a handy tool in anyone's tool kit.
**Please note that the V-gouger is designed to be a bit "loose" straight from the factory, allowing you to adjust to your hand pressure and the leather.
Directions for use: Place leather on a flat hard surface. Turn the knob counter-clockwise to adjust blade depth down - it helps to put pressure on blade with finger to get accurate depth level. Use a scrap piece of leather of similar thickness as the work piece to make sure blade won't cut completely through the leather. When V-gouger is placed on leather, the weight of the tool will force blade to maximum depth level set. Pro Tip: Dampening the leather first, then scoring a guide line, and cutting slowly helps with control of the line.
