The Schärffix is a game-changing tool for bookbinding

The Schärffix is a game-changing tool for bookbinding enthusiasts and professionals alike. Designed specifically for leather paring, this instrument has quickly become a go-to choice for many in the bookbinding community. As someone who has purchased more than one Schärffix, I can attest to its precision and efficiency. This tool has allowed me to work quickly and with greater accuracy, saving me both time and effort. Its sharp blade and comfortable grip make it a pleasure to use, and its adjustable blade depth allows for customizability to suit individual needs. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with my purchase of the Schärffix. It has proved to be an invaluable addition to my bookbinding toolkit, and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the market for a high-quality leather paring tool. Its precision and ease of use are unmatched, making it a must-have for anyone serious about their craft.

Ein perfekter Apparart um Leder von Hand zu schärfen, an den Kanten, in der Mitte oder größere Flächen da der Apparat hinten und vorne offen ist, eine wahre Freude auch für die Weiterverarbeitung..

Below you can see questions that other customers have asked about this product. Do you have a question of your own? Then feel free to ask us using the button below. You decide whether your question may be published.

Our Schärffix works on all kinds of leather and especially on softer leather types. The only difficulty with Nappa-type leather will be that you always have to have really sharp blades (our Schärffix comes with spare blades, so this should be no problem) and you have to work precisely. Some of the more tough leathers will require some additional moisture to be applied to make them more flexible to guarantee good results.
For English-speakers, we can recommend this video by DAS Bookbinding (Australian YouTube channel): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xCZIpEbZxc
Our Schärffix is as simple as it looks, but you definitely have to get some practice, as it is a manual device. Yes, it helps in being able to prepare larger areas more quickly and accurately (very smooth and even results) than with a knife.

For the corners, you will still need a leather paring knife and here it really depends on your preference (what you have learned to use best). If you are starting out, we can recommend the Asian style as it is very affordable and still great to use.
All the necessary equipment is already included when you purchase a Schärffix on our website. Sometimes, people who own an older version buy spare blades or additional equipment (to upgrade to the current version) as well, but you do not need these with a new one and there are already 10 spare blades included when you buy the Schärffix. if you live farther abroad, it might make sense to include an additional set of spare blades already, but in general, the 10 spare blades included should last you quite some time.
