This is a custom case for a leatherman tool that I did recently. It's 5 oz. Hermann Oak that I wet molded on a wooden last that I made.  It' has a hand tooled floral/engraving style design and initial. I used Fiebing's Medium Brown dye and Angelus Matte Finish. I also used a hidden magnetic closure to show off the tooling. It's lined with calfskin and hand stitched.

This is awesome. How did you tool that? What size tools? I would think you would need something fairly small.

That is very beautifully done!  Your magnet closure interests me and also I'd like to know how the belt loop is attached.

Thanks,

I used a few different Barry King tools for this along with a modeling tool. The belt loop is attached with brass rivets that are flattened so as to not interfere with the tool.

Beautifully done.

This is really lovely work.  I have made a couple myself but I've not been able to get the bottom corners anywhere near as clean as yours. What's the best way to go about it?  T

Man, that wayyyyyy outclasses the Leatherman for sure. It is the $5,000 dollar rims on the $500 dollar car. That ain't your fault. Wonderfully clean and well executed.

Really nice job on the tooling and the molding!
