Talas - Teflon Bone Folders

Bookbinding Tools & Supplies > Scoring and Burnishing Tools

These Teflon Bone Folders are superior to the traditional bone folders in that Teflon will not glaze or mar delicate papers or fabrics. Once you have used these you will see the difference.

Talas now stocks 7 unique styles to compliment all book and box making needs.

The Small Folder and Large Folder are the traditional shapes of the Teflon folding tools, with a point at one end and a chisel at the other end.

The Lifter is similar in size and shape to the Large Folder, but unique in that the pointed end comes to a thin flexible spatula like end.

The Delaminating Spatula is a wider and thinner tool with a good hand feel.

The Burnisher is a pencil like tool which is good for getting into tough to reach spaces, and for freehand scoring and burnishing.

The Folding Rib is a tool designed by book artist Christine Cox, owner of Volcano Arts. This is a great tool to hold, and fits nicely in the hand. The ninety degree angle is excellent for box making and getting into corners.
