description
The shoemaker trims the sole edge with a welt cutter after it has been sewn. The hand tool has a circular head with an oblique cut at the top and a thickness guide with a curled edge at the top. That edge ensures that no damage is made to the upper leather. The head is fixed in a wooden or hollow metal handle. [MOT]
