Thanks again for the help you guys! Are Round knives really necessary, or are they a specialty knife that's made to look cool? Probably a very newb question to ask.

Alright, I'm another one of those lurkers! I've been reading this forum a lot! I am going to be going into the Air Force and have been playing with leather as a hobby. My extent of my tools consist of a rotary hole punch, a sewing chisel (little four pronged thingy), and a box cutter. I'm part of the SCA, and have made a helmet, a baldric, and a couple of bracers. I'm fairly artistic and a perfectionist. so while my items definitely carry the mark of a novice, they still look nice. I can't help but feel that there is a much easier way to accomplish my goals... Any help is certainly welcome, from tips and techniques. I plan on making more things like baldrics, knife sheaths, bags, as well as things like jackets and vests Thanks to all of the talented people who are going to be helping me out there

I do believe you mean Latigo Leather, t's leather that has been treated to stiffen and limit stretch of the leather.
