Leather Hand Slicker – Just Wood / Nigel Armitage Edge Burnishing Tool

Leather Hand Slicker – Just Wood / Nigel Armitage Edge Burnishing Tool

Hand slicker by Nigel Armitage — smooth and finish leather edges for professional results.

The Armitage Leather & Just Wood Hand Slicker is a high-quality leather hand slicker and edge burnishing tool, designed for precise and consistent finishing of leather edges. Ideal for professional leatherworkers, saddlers and leathercraft enthusiasts, this hand-held tool helps smooth, shape and burnish leather edges to produce a clean, sharp and professional finish.

Available in two groove designs:

Flat grooves – ideal for general leather edge smoothing and burnishing.

Rounded grooves – designed for creating a softer, more curved edge finish.

At 7½ inches (190mm) long and 1¼ inches (32mm) in diameter, this leather slicker is larger than many traditional hand slickers. The increased size provides a greater working surface and a comfortable, stable grip, making hand burnishing more efficient and consistent.

Six Leather Burnishing Groove Sizes

The hand slicker features six popular groove sizes:

3mm
4mm
5mm
6mm
8mm
10mm

The range of groove sizes makes this leather burnishing tool suitable for a wide variety of leather thicknesses and edge profiles.

Careful design and development have produced a comfortable leather slicker that sits securely in the hand while maintaining consistent contact with the leather edge.

Designed for Precise Leather Edge Finishing

Attention to the groove profiles, edge angles and finish helps produce a clean, sharp and detailed leather edge.

The flat and rounded groove options allow you to choose the finish according to the leather and the result you want to achieve, whether smoothing a general edge or creating a softer, rounded profile.

The hand slicker is suitable for leather belts, wallets, bags, straps, harness work and other leathercraft projects where a neat, professionally finished edge is required.
