Qilin (麒麟), a form of dragon in Chinese mythology. 2024 is the year of the dragon in the Lunar Calendar and it marks the third year since I have sold to my first customer. I often bring my mind back to the place where I first grew my interest in leathercraft and leathercraft tools, then subsequently manufacturing and e-commerce. As time progresses, I find it difficult not to forget what that feels like, the peculiar feeling of falling into obsession, and the pleasure through creation. I like to think that it was my gift to the world, of which I share by igniting a passion in others.

Details

The brass ferules are flattened with an even smooth satin finish. An oxidation finish is then applied using an antiquing fluid, and then lightly buffed.

The joint between the Cocobolo wooden handle and the ferrule now has a gentle 45 degrees bezel to it as well. It took us a while to figure out how to do this. In order for the brass ferrule to align well with the wooden handle, the dimensions across all faces has got to be kept within a +-0.05mm error margin out of the CNC machining process.

Beveler Blade

Japanese VG10 cutlery stainless steel, vacuum heat treated to 61 HRC. The material and treatment selection of the blade was thoroughly analyzed to achieve what I personally regard to be the optimal balance for this application. With its high hardness, comes the benefit of good edge retention, this is complimented by VG10's ease of honing and sharpening.

Ferrari of edge bevelers

It’s “The Beveler”. End of story!
If you’re a leather crafter looking to sell your craft, you need this. It’s so sharp right out of the box that you’ll just fall in love with it. Only thing I regret is not ordering both 0 and 1 together. 0 is “too gentle” a bevel.

Great customer service, quick shipping, and product is very high quality

These tools wow you when you take them out of the box, and every time you use them. Jun Lin has created something really special here. Shipping was fast, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase
