CC Those are beautiful the deep color and contrasting stitching. One day I may get close to that. Stay Safe Wolf

Well folks just wanted to introduce myself, Wolfgang is the name and I just got, about 10 minutes ago, my first batch of leather. Nothing expensive 8-9oz cuts 1-4 feet square, and am going to try a knife sheath, mountain man style but with some refinements for a nice Bowie I have. I have been lurking in the shadows for awhile on here and other forums, and this is by FAR the best. The couple tools I bought were wrong, of course, but I want to get good at the handwork especially the stitching! This may be a stupid question but can anyone tell me the correct sewing awls to get, everybody has got something different to some degree. Are Weavers Master grade good, or do I go for Douglas? On these and the swivel knife the consensus is get the best you can, correct? I have been able to make some of the tools from what I have, but what tools will make the stitching easier and more efficient for me without learning to many bad habits.
