I’ve used mine for many, many moons & consider it indispensable when I’m working with soft Japanese papers, especially for larger books or boxes. The teflon finish makes this tool the smoothest of operators, simply gliding over the paper, banishing any bubbles or wrinkles without scuffing or marring the paper. Make no bones about it—once you use one, you’ll wonder how you’ve bound without it.

Measures: 6 in.

Wrapped on the bias (furo-chic!) in our signature style: white tissue and our favourite washi tape of the day.
