jmorton Report post Posted January 18, 2010 I don't know if these have been posted before, but I ran across them today. The first was a page listing tool manufacturers from several years ago. http://pslac.org/iilg/background.htm This is to a Japanese site that seems to have a lot of the same things that TLF carries, but some other things as well. http://www.kyoshin-elle.co.jp/ The second is in Japanese, (Sorry, I only speak Okie and Tex) but if you look around, there are 4 pages of tools to gawk at. I do not know anything about the catalog or the company. This may be obsolete or OOB, for all I know. Hope this is of interest. Thanks!

John Morton John, paste the address for the Japanese company into Google Search box and search. Then open the page by clicking where it says "translate this page" next to the entry. That will give you most of the site in English. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted January 18, 2010 Contact Ron at Hide Crafter, he has a good relationship with Kyoshin Elle in Japan. Unfortunately, I have tried to purchase some unique leatherworking items that I have found on the internet. They want you to buy 5 of each and charge $20 dollars for shipping period. It just hasn't become a priority for me right now. Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
