Leather Wrist Brace
SOLD! But I can always make more. This Leather Wrist Brace was made for a customer that pretty much beats his pharmaceutical braces to death. As I understand it he goes through one of the fabric braces monthly. Whether just beating it up or “setting it on fire” as he says while welding his custom drag cars, they just don’t last nor support his damaged wrist properly. Apparently other leathersmiths he has contacted to create this stated “it can’t be done”. We’ll, yes it can…see? “Bruzer”, as he is called. contacted me a while back with this request and was kind enough to mail me an old brace that I could use...
Read MoreButterfly Knife Sheath’s
If you’re going to carry a Butterfly Knife you really should carry it in something like this. 4-5oz. tooling leather, saturated with neatsfoot oil to keep it supple and protected. The clip is a spring steel holster clip covered in leather. I made this one for a gentlemen in South Florida that likes to jog. He needed it as slim as possible for concealment and designed not to fall out of his pocket or off of his jogging shorts. He also requested that I carve a logo of his choosing into the front side. Base price for this sheath is $135.00 w/o the leather covered clip. I’ll cover it like this for an additional $25.00. As always as it’s custom, any color,...
Read MoreMini Tablet Portfolio
Just finished, a mini tablet portfolio! This piece was designed for a customer in Virginia to hold an iPad Mini, a Moleskine Cahier notebook, an iPhone 5, assorted pens/pencils, reading glasses, and s small set of business cards. In addition it has a gusseted flap on the back to hold up to 3 loaded letter size file folders. All of this an its only 1″ thick! (depending on just how you stuff it of course). The design elements are similar to the “Ultimate iPad Case” by Dragonthorn Leathersworks which includes top quality leather, sueded lining and no extras to increase its bulk. This particular case is made of 3-4oz. oil tanned leather with orange stitching (nice touch I...
Read MoreStingray Wallet
Custom Stingray Wallet you ask? Coming right up, err…. in a short bit… I have worked with a lot of tough leathers and difficult projects but I have to say finishing this wallet for a recent customer strained the both of us. The design and the manufacture of the pure cow leather bits was not difficult. Determining exactly how I was going to stitch this baby was not. Stingray skin is actually made up of a hard calcareous material that is more like armor than skin or scales. A regular knife will not easily cut it, nor are your scissors happy if you use them. I ended up using a pair of shop shears for the rough cut and my belt sander to get the edges straight....
Read MoreFountain Pen Case (Hard Shell)
Fountain Pen Case, hard shell and custom made. It does not get any better than this for the discerning fountain pen collector. I was contacted by a client in Toronto looking for something just a little bit different. He forwarded me a few photos of cases he likes along with this comment, ” I can’t find anything outside of Japan that isn’t junk (sort of cheap leather and all floppy). Your stuff looks fantastic and high quality”. Well, I am always up for a challenge and thought to myself, “self, let’s ramp this way up!” The ramp-up? A layered piece of custom molded kydex giving this Dragon Leatherworks pen case practical...
Read MoreEvery Day Carry Dragon PCS – Pocket Carry System©
The Dragon PCS© System for every day carry is probably the most difficult and yet the most simple to explain. Difficult, as the pictures show only a few of an infinite variety of possibilities. Simple, as the design and construction is only limited by what you carry daily in your pocket. The PCS featured above is one that was designed for a customer in France. For this one, I used 4-5 oz. horse hide, dyed a warm cognac brown and highlighted with contrasting orange stitching. This PCS holds a small Altoids tin, a large Bic lighter, a Fisher Space Pin, a Derma Safe Knife, and has my signature slot for a guitar pick and coin. Although I always think of this item as being...
