I am planning on making a nice Gunbelt for myself, with a single action holster for my Unberti Birdshead 357, belt loops, and a Sheath for a knife.  I knew that I needed a couple punches to make it look right and ordered good ones, a 1/2" and 1-1/2" CS Osborne pair from Springfield Leather.  They came in a couple weeks ago and I tried them a couple times on scrap leather.  Nice clean cuts, but they took a number of whacks with the mallet and maul I have.  Too light.  I looked hard but couldn't find the Nylon 2 pounder in stock anywhere except Barry King... but, Amazon had the BK 24 ounce maul, which is what I prefer, and I ordered that. Double the weight of my current mallet.  Came in yesterday.  VERY nice.  That'll do, Donkey, That'll do.

Nice addition! I use an approximately 40 oz wooden maul I bought at an antique store for $10. Must be maple or something, works very well. I have lusted for a 48 oz BK for a while.
