Dont buy from Owden. Poor quality and you cannot return the product because they never answer your mail or provide you with a return address.

I have Owden 20 and 16 ounce tapered mauls. Both are nice and priced right. Use the 20 for flower centers. Rarely use the 16. For beveling and background I use a 14 Barry King tapered. For delicate work I use a 12 tapered from Jhong Jiang. Are four necessary? No but I like the variety.

Just got your video's in my YT feed. Please keep up the good work and keep them coming. I have just recently started leather work to with the aim of augmenting my income, as a pensioner it is really diiffcult in my country to make ends meet. The state pension here is about $ 108 per month, so I am always looking for tools that are reasonably priced. All the tools we can get locally are CCC tools(Cheap Chinesium Crap) thatare absolutley useless. Best wishes and regards from Port Elizabeth South Africa.

These definitely chip and bend buddy.

I have all of them and they are literally as sharp as a butter knife. They don’t cut at all. The punches are also very dull but are somewhat usable.

The ridges on the maul are for gripping whatever it is that you are hitting.it’s great. Also you can easily tighten the head and handle with a wrench. Btw the handle is not wood. It is stacked leather. Kind of like the higher end Barry king mauls and mallets. Several pieces of vegetable tanned leather stacked on top of each other and carved on a wood turning lathe into the shape of a handle, then sanded, polished and dyed. I do wonder if it is genuine stacked leather or just a veneer that is layered on top of a cheap wood.

Also I think you are using your Japanese leather knife the wrong way up. The bevel is supposed to be facing up, not down.

9:30 that is not how you use this haha. This French skiver is for skiving, not beveling the edges. They are incorrect in calling it a beveler but the Chinese usually copy things without knowing what they even are.

Owden is pretty low quality. Their tools are made of cheap steal, their edge bevelers are unevenly shaped, their creasers fall appart when heated due to terrible construction. The only half decent item of theirs is their replaceable tip awl,. Although even that is hard to tighten without pliers.also both diamond blades are the same sized. The worst is the stitch groover. The screw only has one thread that makes it so you can’t screw the grooving blades. A box in completely unimportant. You are purchasing a tool, not a pretty 2 cent box. Also the so called “ebony” wood is just cheap stabilized wood that is dyed black, not real ebony. The look is still decent though. Also its, owden, not auwden. Source: I’ve bought almost every single tool they sell.

The Pro series grooving tool is really nice too

You were right! I now have all 5 sizes of Owden Bevelers and they really are great. Thank you again.

Thanks for the review of this beveler. I have been thinking about buying an Owden. Your input helps!
