Fancy Tools?

[Richard Wasnock]

Hey everyone, I lurk a lot here but don't pop in for many questions.

I'm a YouTuber, I operate the Dark Horse Workshop channel and I would really like to find some quality hand tools to either buy outright or figure out a sponsorship/brand deal with.

I want them to be obviously of high quality, and look slick. I'm a little tired of cutting everything with my olfa knife, though I do love it.

Thoughts?

what tools ? knives , mauls, stamps? are you going to sell them or just use them for bling on your channel?

Older tools are in many cases the best quality available.  Have a look at @bruce johnson's website and other online sellers of used leathercraft tools.  I recently bought this knife from a saddler who is closing his shop.  I've been looking for several years for one of these, and it was worth the wait.

That's a great knife.  Dozier is still in business, but makes hunting and skinning knives along with custom work.  Gorgeous knives, all with D2 steel and lots of experience.

I'm looking for New Tools that I can use in my Videos and hopefully connect with someone in a brand deal.

Some people noted older used Tools, I know they're great a lot of the time, but I'm more looking for something that I can advertise while using on my channel.

Sorry, pretty much a full line..  I guess there's those Tandy pro tools... better than my olfa knife probably.

If I miss anyone, it is not intentional

New stamping tools - major players are Barry King, Wayne Jueschke, Horse Shoe Brand Tools (Jeremiah Watt), Clay Miller, Gomph-Hackbarth, David Mabe, Sergey Neskromony, or Tandy

New Hand Tools - Barry King, Ron's Tools, Horse Shoe Brand Tools, Tandy. 

There are a few top end knife makers but they are pretty much limited to knives so really don't fit your deal.

Good to know!  Anyone interested in a premium head knife should snap them up while they can.
