My custom made hawl from Kevin lee off of Facebook the thing is a work of art

I’ve bought 3 different sizes awls, 2 sets of stitching chisels (regular and inverse), a skiving knife, a small half moon knife, a curve cutting knife, a creaser and a 500g mallet from him over the past year and every tool is amazing quality.  I’ve looked around Instagram for good tools and his seemed to be one of the best quality and at reasonable prices.

Thanks

Yeah,  He goes by Kevin901120 in DHgate.com  Looks like an Etsy shop in China?

His prices are a little cheaper if you contact him privately.

I only had Tandy awls before buying his and even when I sharpened the Tandy awls they weren’t a patch on how sharp his awls were. I was (and still am) very happy when I used the new awls. His delivery charges stays the same even if you buy a bunch of tools. On the shop site they charge delivery on each item.

I know.. I only meant to buy the half moon knife but when I takes 3 weeks for delivery I thought I might a well buy this as well and then maybe this too... before I knew it I was re-financing the mortgage. :rofl:
