Can anyone help me with either of these 2 questions?

1. How is this beautiful antique golden honey color achieved?  My efforts just can't seem to produce a consistent color that is this golden and my antiquing seems to discolor the light areas (see 1st pic).   What technique and products are used?

2.  Is there a geometric type stamping tool that is used for this diamond shaped tooling?  Or is this all cut by the swivel knife, steeply beveled, & a dot added on every 'X'? (see pic of bottom knife sheath).

I can't speak for the saddle, but the quilt pattern on the sheath is done with a swivel knife and a seeder, just as you'd suspected.
