Bleeder Tool

Here’s Why It Works:

If you're doing any kind of string braiding or latigo work, this little tool earns its spot on the bench. The blade is shaped just right for splitting saddle strings and leaving a clean opening for your braid to pass through. It’s sharp, balanced, and designed to give you consistent control without tearing up your leather.

Best For:

• Splitting latigo or saddle strings for braiding

• Leaving smooth openings without fraying the leather

• Western tack work or traditional lacing jobs

More About This Product:

I’ve used a few of these over the years, and this one’s got the feel and sharpness I look for. The high carbon steel blade keeps its edge, and the curve is just right to control the depth of your split. That hardwood handle fits well in the hand, and the nickel ferrule keeps it tight and durable. If you’re braiding reins, bosals, or saddle strings, this is one of those tools that makes the job a whole lot easier and a whole lot cleaner.
