More About This Product:

Tokonole is water-based and made by Seiwa in Japan, and folks love it because it’s not messy, it dries fast, and it leaves a great finish without a ton of effort. The Clear version gives a natural polished look, while Black and Brown help deepen and match darker leathers for a seamless edge. Whether you’re working by hand or using a powered burnisher, Tokonole plays well with either.
