Leather Craft Groovers and Gougers

A leather gouge tool is used to cut a neat channel in veg tanned leather, usually on the flesh side, to make it easier to fold or bend angles in thicker leathers, like 2-4mm. It can also double up as a stitching groover, but is a little harder to master and requires a lot more pressure on the cutting tip.

We recommend an adjustable v-shaped gouge tool, which can cut everything from the finest to the deepest of channels in leather. 

Please remember to always sharpen your leather cutting tools on a strop or file card, before use, so they will last you for years and be safer to use, as a sharp tool is much safer to use then a blunt one.

An adjustable leather groover is often used to cut a shallow groove in the surface of veg tanned leather for when you want to recess your stitching slightly into the leather, either for practical or decorative reasons.

There are 2 main variations of this common leather tool. Both work equally well and it is more a matter of preference.

1. The adjustable section/arm of the tool does the cutting, and a screw in the end of the tool is loosened with a small screw driver/allen key to slide the cutting section back and forth, so you can choose how far in from the edge of your leather you want your groove to be.
2. The adjustable arm is used as a guide that runs along the edge of the leather and the cutting part is inline with the handle of the tool.

Personally I prefer the second option, but always remember to polish the cutting hole with a piece of thick thread and polishing compound before every use.
