Moderator bruce johnson Posted September 22, 2022 Moderator Report Posted September 22, 2022 I recently was given the opportunity to purchase the personal tools that belonged to Keith Pommer. Keith was one of my heroes and mentors on leather tools as well as being a good guy to BS with. These are the Gomph French edgers and as complete a set as I have seen or heard of.

I had visited him several times and he had shown me his personal tools for at least 10 or 12 years. When the opportunity to buy his whole set of personal tools came up, I was blessed to be able to do it.

I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
