Bone folder
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
A bone folder or bonefolder is a dull edged handtool used to fold and crease material in crafts such as bookbinding,[1][2] cardmaking,[3] origami[4] and other papercrafts where a sharp crease or fold is needed.
Often made from the leg bone of a cow, deer, or similar animal,[5] there are also synthetic alternatives made from plastics. However those made from bone may be less prone to leaving residues on the workpiece.[6] In Japanese bookbinding the equivalent folding tool is traditionally made from bamboo, although a Japanese fabric marking tool ("hera") or Western bone folder may be substituted.[7]
The bone folder is also used for marking fabric where a temporary mark needs to be made without damaging the material.[citation needed]
