We've hand-picked a small selection of Leather Tools that are among the best choices for miniature leatherworking projects.
The Easy Comfort Swivel Knife is one of the primary tools used in carving leather. Its design allows you to make smooth, graceful cuts in leather. The wide blade pushes the edges of the cut aside, to aid in obtaining better detail and relief.
Comes outfitted with 3/8" straight blade.
The 1/4" Angled Blade is the best blade for carving small designs and doing miniature leather work. The sharp tapered tip allows you to achieve fine detail and control, and is highly recommended for small-scale leather work.
| Swivel Knife & Blades |
| TL150 – Swivel Knife Handle – $22.00 with 3/8" Straight Blade |
| TL1514 – 1/4" Angled Blade
– $11.00 for Detail Work |
A select offering of Craftool brand small leather stamps, suitable for miniatures and small carving projects. Leather stamps are used to create impressions and patterns upon Tooling Leather. You'll need a light-weight mallet for these tools. A wood, rawhide or acrylic mallet is best, as a standard metal hammer may damage the tool handles. Suitable mallets can be found at most hardware stores.
Did you know that you can sand, file, grind or change the shape of some of these stamping tools to customize them to better suit your needs? All you need is some sandpaper or files, a hard surface (such as the top of a bench-vise or anvil) and a hammer, (a grinder will work if you have one). You can modify standard off-the-shelf tools to be smaller or more refined.
Items are shown about double their actual size.
