Piju is commonly used in handmade leather goods A kind of craftsmanship in which the leather edge is made with different heights to make it more three-dimensional. Common drumming methods include segmented drumming and gasket drumming. Gaskets are used in watch straps and bag straps, and segments are often used in wallets. This article introduces a method of cutting drums with utility knife segments. Most sections are cut with a wide shovel, as shown in the picture below.

I also tried the wide shovel , but I have used it less than three times since I bought it... First, I found that it is not as easy to use as I imagined. If the force is not well controlled, it is easy to shovel the leather surface through, especially if you want to shovel one edge to a flat surface. It is extremely demanding on the technique, and I really can't stand the pits on one edge. Secondly, tools such as the leather knife and wide shovel must be sharpened frequently, which is painful for patients with late-stage cancer. Occasionally see @ in Tieba
