YORKSHINE M390 French Edger

Yorkshine M390 French Edger – The Pinnacle of Precision Skiving

Yorkshine is an emerging luxury toolmaker born from a collective of master leather artisans and elite bladesmiths. Every tool is a testament to their deep understanding of leathercraft, designed specifically for those who demand uncompromising performance and tactile perfection.

Precision Engineering Meets Elite Metallurgy

At the heart of this French Edger is the Austrian Böhler M390 3rd Generation Microclean powder steel. Highly favored by master blacksmiths for premium kitchen knives, M390 is a martensitic stainless steel renowned for its:

• Extreme Edge Retention: Its high wear resistance means it stays razor-sharp significantly longer than standard steels.

• Exceptional Toughness & Corrosion Resistance: Built to withstand heavy use while remaining pristine.

• Mirror-Polished Finish: Each blade is hand-ground and polished by craftsmen to ensure effortless, "buttery" skiving straight out of the box.
  
  

Designed for the Subtle Details

While machines have their limits, the Yorkshine French Edger excels in the nuances. The meticulously calculated blade geometry allows for consistent thickness when thinning, making it ideal for delicate areas that require a steady hand.

• Signature Z-Shaped Ergonomics: The unique handle elevation provides superior clearance, allowing you to adjust your cutting angle with fluid precision.

• Ultra-Thin 0.6mm Side Walls: By minimizing the thickness of the edge guards, we’ve reduced drag to almost zero, allowing the blade to glide through tough leathers with minimal effort.

• Longevity by Design: The extended groove allows for years of sharpening and maintenance. When the edge eventually dulls, a simple strop with polishing compound (green rouge) restores its hair-popping sharpness instantly.

• The Luxury of Black Walnut: The handle is turned from Premium Black Walnut, one of the world’s three most prized hardwoods. Known for its perfect balance of hardness and natural "stickiness" in the hand, the deep, sophisticated grain develops a beautiful patina over time. Coupled with solid H62 brass accents, it provides a weighted, non-slip grip that feels like an extension of your arm.
