S Scraper

Type of tool: dry scraper and softener

Use with: any hide in a frame, but especially large hides (Cow, Elk) to peel layers of membrane away to thin a hide

A sharp and quick scraper for large, thick hides. The S scraper is a heavier weight than the long-handle dry scraper. It has a sharp bevelled edge on each end for swift motions and getting into every nook and cranny of the hide.

Made from forged steel by Hammarede Forgeworks blacksmith in Sweden.

Tool use: Hold the S scraper with both hands, placing one hand on the bottom S curve and one hand on the top. Scrape in a downwards motion, fluidly. Keep edges super sharp while dry-scraping. When using more as a softening tool, you can let the edge get dulled a bit and apply more pressure once dull.

*This tool is unique in that you can keep one edge dull and one edge sharp to always have a dry scraper or softener handy in one tool. Always move this tool in a downward motion to keep the bevel intact: “bevel up, scrape down.”. Check out our IG stories for tool use + care.
