For those of you have one of these and love it, please tell me why you love it. I have one but am definitely not crazy about it. First, it's slick in my hand, and I feel like I have to hold it especially tight so it won't slip. Second, the tip is broader than my other bone folders; thus, the score I get from it is broader. This is a matter of preference, but it seems to give my cards a more cumbersome, less concise, fold.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I prefer my cheapie bone folders. Maybe I'm using it wrong (although I don't know how I could misuse something as simple as a bone folder, but maybe). Could you help me love mine, LOL?
I personally cannot sell you on the teflon folder because I don't have one (yet).
However, these teflon folders have been recommended on some online classes by people respected in the industry and whose opinions I value. They say that these folders don't leave a shiny area on the cardstock. And I know what they're talking about there because I get the shine with my regular bone folder, and I don't like it one bit !
I am thinking about getting one of these puppies....

So funny. . . I was considering getting one of these too. Some well respected bloggers were recommending it as they say it will not leave a shiny area at the fold of the cardstock. I haven't gotten around to it yet but I may try one.
I got one and really like it. I get a much better fold with it and no shine. My old SU bone folder developed cracks, etc and I never was all that thrilled with it.
I do not have one and have been tempted after taking a few online classes. I do use a piece of paper on cards to prevent shine and it does work perfectly. I am torn. I have 3 already (gifts from people over the years....) so I don't think I "need" one.
The Teflon bone folder is have is one of the first tools I bought after catching the card making 'fever'. It has served me well and is used on every fold on my cards. The one I have had rounded sides,corners and point so it slides easily and doesn't leave a shine. The area that you grip is rectangular easy to hold.
