Update: I switched from a bone folder to a Teflon folder for my leather work
Everyone says bone is the only proper tool, but after six months, my leather is smoother and my hands don't ache. The Teflon glides without catching the grain. Has anyone else made a switch they were told not to?

Bone folders are classic, but the "only proper tool" thing is just gatekeeping. If the Teflon one works better for you, that's the proper tool.

Totally agree. I saw a bookbinder online who swears by a simple plastic card for most folds, says it's gentler on some papers. Whatever gets the job done.
