Contributing Member TwinOaks Posted November 19, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted November 19, 2009 Welcome to Leatherworker.net! It's fantastic to have a supplier from the east end of the pond on here. I'm sure you either have, or will soon, hear from some of our UK members. Be sure to drop a message to Johanna so you can get listed in the suppliers list.Other than your link to your website, can you give us an idea of what, as a supplier, you can offer leatherworkers?

Contributing Member barra Posted November 19, 2009 Contributing Member Report Posted November 19, 2009 Hi Chris and welcome to Leatherworker.net, great to have a representative of you company here. Joseph Dixon Tool Co Limited is a family owned and run business, Manufacturing the finest English leather working tools and Saddlers toolssince 1843 and has the larges range of tooling in the world they are all madein house in Walsall which is the leather capital of theworld and steeped in history. We take great pride in our product quality andservice. This I can attest to. Most of my tools are Joseph Dixon (some Thomas). They lasted the entire working life of a Saddler and Harness Maker who started somewhere around 1900 - 05 and they will outlast me. A lot gets mentioned about modern anything not being as good a quality as the old but even the odd Dixon tool I have had to replace over the years due to my stupidity will outlast me and more than likely the next guy. You know you live in saddlery mecca when the local football team in called the Saddlers. P.S. can you give us a brief history lesson on the Dixon company. I'm mainly interested in the Thomas Dixon timeline. Barra Quote "If You're not behind the Troops, please feel free to stand in front of them"
Members Leerwerker Posted November 20, 2009 Members Report Posted November 20, 2009 My most valuable tools are also Joseph Dixons. The round knife sings like a soprano when you strike it! The sewing awl stays supersharp. The plowgauge gives you confidence when you hold it in your hand. The stitching clam has done many interesting demonstrations. And the old gentleman who taught me to handsew (in South Africa), sold them to me for next to nothing ... - they were his duplicates.

Members Avogadro Posted June 6, 2014 Members Report Posted June 6, 2014 Is there a dealer in the US? Quote
Members Not Awl Together Posted June 6, 2014 Members Report Posted June 6, 2014 (edited) I would like to know as well so, I just sent an email to Chris this evening referencing his post here. Hopefully Chris is still with Dixon and will favor us with an update and let us know if they may or not have any further intention of a U.S. based agent / distributor / retail venue.
