A lot of work (for me)

I think you did a great job on those knife sheaths. It’s a shame your client put you under stress while making them. I would hate that.

i have some problems with my hands while sewing... if you’re interested, I bought my awls from a guy on instragram (Japan I think) they’re the most amazingly sharp tools. So comfortable in my hand and I think I paid around 40 bucks plus 8 for shipping. I can punch through any leather with ease. https://www.instagram.com/kevinlee4426  have a look some time?

Thanks.  Mine are Douglas awls, and they're very sharp (and I take aspirin for a heart condition, so sometimes keeping blood off the leather is my big focus), but I'll look at these too.

Those are gorgeous!  I have a thing about tools -- make my own when I can -- and if I'm going to use them, they should be as attractive as function permits.  Thanks!
