AndyL1 Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 (edited) Hey All, I've been really thinking about having a maker's stamp made but I wanted it to be a logo I have designed for myself. I wanted to incorporate a leather working tool in the design and I can't nail down which one to use. My question is: What leather working tool is considered to be the most iconic?

David Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 Probably the round or head knife, but since I hate 'em; I'll choose the swivel knife David Theobald Quote

Ian Posted February 8, 2009 Report Posted February 8, 2009 I'd say a head knife too, even though I've never owned or used one, although, I doubt whether one in a thousand people outside of leather craft would know what it is. Quote http://blackcanyonleather.net/
Moderator Johanna Posted February 8, 2009 Moderator Report Posted February 8, 2009 Well, I picked the mallet. Not all of us use a swivel knife or a head knife, but every one of us has a hammer or three. One of my favorite leather logos belongs to steveb.

That's sort of my concern too. If I make stuff for the average joe, they may not understand what that tool is and... Well, I picked the mallet. Not all of us use a swivel knife or a head knife, but every one of us has a hammer or three. One of my favorite leather logos belongs to steveb. Johanna ...based on what you have said I'm leaning towards a mallet. I don't use a head knife as I don't have one and my folding box cutter works perfect for me. But I use the heck out of my mallet. Bottom line: Mallet = recognizable tool, used a lot in leather work. Head Knife = says "leather" but a majority of people don't know what it is. Some use it, some don't. Decisions, decisions. I'll let this poll go for a while more and then just flip a coin I guess. Thanks for chiming in! Quote Blackthorn Leather on Etsy • Blackthorn Leather on Facebook

Members kiwidownunder Posted February 9, 2009 Members Report Posted February 9, 2009 The swivel Knife. But the poll does not include it so I have to say the Head Knife. Kiwi Quote KIWIDOWNUNDER May you be blessed with miracles with every breathe that you take. www.kiwidonunderleather.com
