steveb leatherworks: the blather

ok – being a major force in the global quest to improve the design, class quotient and overall utility of  leather stuff like wallets, belts, sheaths and other things of huge importance, honestly, is a burden.  I’ve found that i just cant do it alone. No one I know is willing to come out into the shop and work with me. It is always some crap about […]

I’ve  been productive as hell  and here’s just one of the latest pieces to leave the shop. I am proud to introduce you to a very utilitarian piece o’ work – the steveb Front Pocket Jounal Cover. Amazing innovation it is – this front pocket. It allows you, the user, to put all kinds of stuff […]

Thinning out a piece of leather (skiving) is a common and important chore when making something that needs to blend, or blend. Leather is not one of those things you can just bend sharply and not expect it to crack, so you need to skive. I have a few blades that can skive, you’ve already met the Mighty […]

Recently received some pics of steveb gear in use…in this case it’s on the fire truck.. Fireman Beau was kind enough to send pics. This leather has been put to hard use. That’s the idea. If I could ask some of you slugs to please take some pictures (at work or not, c’mon be creative) […]

Digging back in the archives for this feature. Had a little celtic thing going here with this belt. Love the off kilter red dot center…. As I recall this was one belt of a set of 2, with the other one being the tried and true tribal flame belt design.
