Flicker Report post Posted January 14, 2010 I read somewhere that templates in the leather industry were made of brass. Hence the name "clicking knife" from the clicking sound it made connecting to the brass template. I also read that making these templates was a profession that doesn´t exist anymore. Does anyone have a picture of an "old school" template. I haven´t been able to find a picture yet. Thanks, Juha Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
