Essential Tools for Beginner Leathercrafters: Top 10 Must-Haves

Thanks for the sharing 👍🏻

Any box store will stock dead blow mallets in various weights if I could have only one striking tool I would choose this over even an expensive leathercraft maul. No mention of any sharpening and stroping system. Few tools come with a perfectly sharpened edge out of the box and even those that do will not retain that edge.

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! It was definitely a struggle to narrow down the perfect 10 list and we knew there would be some additions worthy of this topic. Glad for the additional mentions you have made, and we agree. Serendipitously, we also have a separate video and post coming about blades, stropping and sharpening in the works right now! Should be coming in the next few weeks, so keep your eyes peeled! Happy crafting!
