How an order works

  1. Tell me what you need

    The knife, the notebook size, the way you carry. I will ask for measurements before I cut.

  2. I make it by hand

    Cut, stitched, and finished at my bench. No machines on the seams.

  3. It ships to you

    Ready for years of use, and ready to pick up its first scratches.

Most orders are done in about a week.

Make it yours

Pick the leather. Pick the thread. I do the rest.

These are choices from pieces I have already made. If you want something you do not see here, just ask.

What should I make?
Leather
Thread

I keep thread in just about every color. If yours is not here, tell me in your order.

Finish

Fair questions

Is it real leather?

Full grain, every piece. No bonded leather and nothing synthetic hiding on the inside.

Will it fit my knife or notebook?

Yes. I build to your measurements, and I will ask for them before I cut.

How long does it take?

About a week for most orders. If yours will take longer, I will tell you before I start.

What does it cost?

Sheaths start at $45, wallets at $65, and journal covers and holsters at $120. Your exact price depends on size and details, and you get it before any work begins.
