This is the work of a very talented artisan named Daisukenshin, I believe. He also only uses wing dividers and an awl--no stitch marking wheels or pricking irons or stitching chisels--as well as maybe a dozen tools that he has mastered, as opposed to hundreds of tools that he doesn't know as well. He is an incredibly talented leathercrafter, IMHO. Exactly! Is from Daisuke. From me he is the BEST and most talented leatherctafter. His tools are all made by a Japanese guy called Ogunaru. And by the way, thanks about the information of the CMC. I always saw it but never tried. On my last works I start to use the Tokonole Edited January 27, 2019 by Elvis Quote
Members johnv474 Posted January 27, 2019 Members Report Posted January 27, 2019 Tokonole is good, maybe better than CMC. Tokonole has a little wax in it that helps to shine the edge. CMC typically does not. Quote
