Appreciation post: My cheap bone folder from the craft store was wrecking my paper

I kept getting these faint, greasy-looking crease lines on my text blocks. Switched to a Teflon folder I found for $15, and the difference is night and day, no more marks. Anyone have a favorite brand for folding delicate papers?

My old Teflon one actually left marks after a year, switched to a glass folder and it's been perfect.

That's actually a common issue with some plastic folders. The grease isn't from the tool, it's from the plasticizer leaching out of the material over time. A Teflon or bone folder won't have that additive. My old one did the same thing.
