SeaCitadel Report post Posted yesterday at 12:22 AM Sorry for the long-windedness, so TLDR: does anyone know of American-made stitching chisels, or at least a company that manufactures their tools in-house? Full version: when I can, I prefer to buy things made in North America (being from NA myself). I'm not saying locally made tools are better, but I prefer to support a local market. I'm very likely going to upgrade my stitching chisels soon so I've been shopping around. Does anyone know if American made stitching chisels exist? I don't think they do, so I would settle for a company that actually makes their own tools, and doesn't outsource to a common manufacturer. I've sent a couple emails out to places that interest me to find out this information, but have yet to hear back from all of them. I'd also be interested in keeping this list and updating it as time goes on so others may refer to it. I haven't gotten incredibly far in my research yet, but just thought to pass on the info. Kevin Lee : Chinese company, manufactured in-house Buckle Guy / Corter : American company, manufactured "overseas" Crimson Hides : Singaporean company, no reply yet I'm also thinking about buying thread from the Maine Thread Company. Has anyone used their stuff before (twisted, braided), what did you think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
