Mjolnir Posted December 23, 2017 Report Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) I'm currently looking for a 1lb tapered poly maul. I have a 2lb but its overkill but I like its look. I have no idea where I got it, it looks exactly like a BK but its silver. I'm looking at Frogjellys, the pics look tapered but I can't tell for sure. I also found beautiful tapered mauls on Etsy but the handles are wood and not leather wrapped, which I like. Any suggestions? Also, am I crazy for wanting a red poly maul with a lightsaber handle that I can call Darth? This is the one on etsy. from Russia. reasonable price. Edited December 23, 2017 by Mjolnir add Quote
Members KingsCountyLeather Posted December 23, 2017 Members Report Posted December 23, 2017 Have you looked at any of the Chinese makers? ive bought some beautiful tools from there. I’m waiting for a 500g mallet and a skiving knife at the moment. I keep an eye for good tool makers on instragram. Quote
Mjolnir Posted December 23, 2017 Author Report Posted December 23, 2017 (edited) since you mention it, not china ( they are cheap, but no style), but I did buy my head knife (Damascus steel), an Ivan, from goods japan. I'm kinda digin' this Russian maul. ps Frogjelly rocks for contacting me back today! but it's not tapered Edited December 23, 2017 by Mjolnir ps Quote

Clay and Maker's Leather Supply are next door to each other about 45 minutes from me. Both are great to work with and very helpful. I do have one of Clay's petal lifters which works great and will definitely be buying more tools from him in the future. Quote
