I am a traditional saddlery and learned the profession in a saddlery.
I restore carriages, cars before 1914 and put her harness and collars for about 15 varieties of Harnesses.

I do use them, they are not just there to watch.
The Swiss Sattler have the tools from Germany always rather like that of Blanchard and Dixon, as the German toolmakers have always worked more accurately and were cheaper.
Unfortunately, one of the last two toolmakers Died 4 years ago, and now there is only a German tool makers of Saddlery Tools manufactures.
