Hi TinkerTailor, thanks for the response and ideas. Here is another photo of all the tools...or most of them. Here are some others... 1. 2. 3. 4. There are also very, very large sewing needles. Large with a bloody handle! I agree this might have been used by someone who deals with sailing. There is a large lake nearby, but I rarely see a sailing boot.

Servus Thor, ja, echt kommisch. Gel? Alles war in den Werkzeugkoffer eingepackt. Ein Drücker Teil? Das Teil zieht als Sattlerwerkzeug lustig aus. I hob koa Ahnung! Yes, quite silly. Everything was packed in the Saddler's toolbox. A printer part? This part in a tool box is rather odd. I have no idea. There are other tools as well and I'll photo them and post them too. Thanks Thor!

Right then, I've been slowing learning the art of leatherworking for about 19 months. I had a very limited number of tools (needles, scissors, hammer, pricking tool, knife) and was mostly doing repairs. For Christmas, my wife found an old Saddler's tool box with numerous old tools and this was my present. Quite nice! Some of the tools I easily recognized from watching various videos and Internet searches. Some of these tools have left me wondering what they are. Any help on the names and their use would be truly appreciated. A B C D E Thanks in advance!

A slanted sheath... eine schräge Scheide? Not a bad idea, but I believe not so authentisch Mittelalter. The Schweifung on the fork is odd. I wondered at the reason for that while the knife is on one direction opposite the fork. Perhaps that could be the reason I am still feeling confused. If I have a Schmied work the curve on the fork, it might end working better. I suppose I need to continue drawing sketches until something clicks. Ich danke dir! Pfait di!

Greetings all from Bavaria! amongst the few items I'm presently making and repairing, I've been asked to make a belt sheath or case for iron cutlery. Would seem fairly straight forward, but it's not...at least for me. I can't seem to get my head around a proper idea. I considered a knife sheath to start then lay the for atop the knife and make a tubular off-set from the fork for the skewer. Place the knife and fork side by side with the skewer in between? I think having the skewer next to the knife is out due to the welt for the knife edge. While the cutlery is rather long (24cm), they aren't wide. And the wearer of this is a rather tiny woman (164cm). This is also for middle-ages festivals, so I'm keeing that in mind too. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I would greatly appreciate it. i wünsch dir was! ~ Hondo
