Tokonole is a non-toxic water-based burnishing agent, used and loved by many leathercrafters across the world. Developed and manufactured by Seiwa Tokonole is often referred to as the premier edge burnishing product.

Tokonole acts as a replacement to traditional water burnishing by reducing the heat generated. This, in turn, helps you maintain a more natural edge by preventing discoloration and edge burn. Combine this with the correct technique and you will have an edge to be proud of.

Along with edge burnishing, Tokonole gum can also be used to smooth the flesh side of your leather giving your piece a smooth and professional look.
