I painted the edges with Fiebings edge paint. Not 100% happy about the restut, need to practice more Your wallet is really nice. Very clean work. You say you are not 100% happy about the edge result, and I think it's because of your choice of edge paint. I would recommend you to use some of these. Fenice, Vernis 600, Beraud CT, Stahl, Uniters, Giardini. Personally, I prefer Fenice, but Uniters seems very popular. But I stay with Fenice since I'm used to that paint and I get decent results. If you decide one of these and need help to find it in Europe, just ask and I give you some links/recommendations. (Disclaimer: Vernis600 is really good but have a rather short shelf life, around a year or so.) Edited February 10, 2019 by Danne spelling Quote

I bought Fenice since then, used it on the other 2 wallets I posted here. Much better! Quote

And Ksblade is quite expensive, and I would rarely use them (Just for very thin watch straps. Quote

For me it's a great price/quality ratio. I think KS is much better, but I could not pay that much when i needed new irons, so.I went with Wuta. For higher SPI I heard great things of Kevin Lee pricking irons. Again, great price/quality ratio. Do you have an instagram account? I'm curious about your projects. I'm also certain I already follow you Quote

I have heard about Kevin Lee before, looks like a decent tool for a reasonable price. No sorry, I'm not there anymore. Or not with Leathercraft. I uploaded a slim card holder I did the other day.
