Members katsass Posted May 28, 2009 Members Report Posted May 28, 2009 Hi there all....Mike here from the Mojave Desert of Calif. I started in working leather more years ago than I care to remember. Started by doing tack repair taught to me by a WWI horse soldier. The old guy had been a casualty of a gas attack and remained in the dry desert areas of the southwest. He would winter at our place from time to time, letting us feed his burros, teaching me to repair his tack and giving him time to rest up before hiking up thru the eastern Sierra's after the weather warmed up. I tinkered with small items until I finally formed Katsass Leather. I primarilly do custom holsters, gunbelts, and items for shooting sports. My wife is the design consultant and production supervisor.....if things don't meet her standards I get a bunch of Kat's sass....hence the name. Quote
