After sitting on the fence for a very long time I just broke down and bought a teflon bone folder. $25 US! I hope it's worth it!!

I've been close to ordering it but the price just gets me and stops me in my tracks. Come back and tell us if it's worth it.

I've been intrigued but haven't purchased because of the price. It not supposed to leave marks on your paper but I don't get marks.
Report back after you use it.

Yes, it is worth it!! I think I was the last one in my group of crafty friends to get one. It leaves no marks on the card stock and creases it beautifully.
My first one was the $25 one, my second was the $12.50 version from Amazon. As far as I can tell, they are the exact same thing.
Hope you love yours.
ETA: search for Teflon bone folder on Amazon and look for the ones by HG Crafting. I think there are 2 sizes available.

Pricey. Some papers, more than others get marks so I've started putting a piece of copy paper on top of whatever I'm folding.

About "bone folders", I don't think they are bones. I do know I used to use bone folders and they marred the side of the paper I folded on. If you held at a tilt to the light you can see some scarring. Putting a piece of paper between the bone and your work will eliminate the scarring.
I now use the Scor Tool, it does not scar my work. I know you can purchase a Scor Tool from most craft stores or on line. They cost $4.00 at scor-pal.com.

I too want the teflon one! I have good quality "bone" folders including the scor pal one, but they make the paper "shiny". I didn't see them last time I searched Amazon...will look again...thanks for the tip!

I lost my bone folder and now need to replace it. As mentioned above there are different brands of teflon bone folders that are cheaper. I'm getting ready to place the order.

I probably won’t have it for over a week but as soon as I get it, I’ll post an update and let you know if I think it is worth the $$. I’ve been resisting for a long time, and honestly I can’t say that I am unhappy with my current one, which I think is an ek success or maybe wrmk pink one, but I have heard so many times that it is with every penny and today I must have been weak because I hit the buy button before I had time to rethink the decision for the thousand and one time... I hope I’m not disappointed.

I love mine! I have had it for maybe a year or two and I was on the fence at first because of the $. I finally got tired of shiny cards and decided to try it, like others above have said, it’s worth every penny.

QUESTION!!! I don't know whether to buy the "big" or "small" bone folder!!! What do you guys have? My scor-pal one is small, my other two seem "medium", and I haven't a clue what these teflon sizes might be like! TIA |

I bought the large one - 6 1/4 inches long x 3/4 inches wide x 3/8 inches thick - due to the arthritis in my hands and frankly, it's easier to find in the mess of my craft table. The small one is 5 1/4 inches long x 5/8 inches wide x 1/4 inches thick. These are the ones on Amazon priced $15.49 and $12.49 respectively.
The one from Ellen Hutson measures 5-1/4 x 5/8 x 1/4 and is $23.99.

I love my teflon bone folder. It just seems to glide across the paper.

I bought a very expensive Teflon one recently from an online scrapbook store. I am so disappointed with it. It has very sharp corners and sides that hurt my hand terribly. It does not balance well in my hand and is just not comfortable to use. I wind up with deep creases on my hand when I fold something. I did file the sharp corners off at the bottom and that helped with some of the problem with it hurting my hand whenever I used it. What was really disappointing though was that it did leave a shiny mark each time I folded something with it. I finally picked up a much cheaper plastic one on Amazon that works fine, is comfortable and does not make marks on my paper when I use it.

I bought one on Amazon and didn't notice much difference on 110lb Neenah cardstock. That paper is a bear to fold. I have to score it first for sure. I use my Stampin up cutter to score it.
