steveb leatherworks: the blather

Steve had to have a Knipper too…. it was my pleasure to make one for this good friend!

Every year for the past 5 or so, a small group of friends get together to celebrate one of our friends, Wally who was snatched away waaaay too soon. Thi is a little taste of what the day was like…. great!  A wonderful celebration of Wally , his friends and family.

This Fob has a one of a kind 1981 vintage nickel domed concho that you will not see anywhere else. The fob is fully lined and glued, then stitched – these stinkers will last a lifetime and look perfect as they age., This is a nice looking accessory for your belt , up to 1.75″ […]

The Bronze Brass Ho Bead is a bead. This is a unique piece. It is made by me, using all hand tools. It is hung on Camo paracord. As is true with all of my work, it is built to last. It is 3 5/8″ long, it is made of: a brass center bead and […]

When brother Andy, a hard working (outside) kinda man saw my Knipper, he wanted one. Told me straight out, I want one. It took awhile for him to come up with the scratch, but I stashed one of the original Stag horn Knippers away for him. Well, payday came, overtime in hand – and Andy got his […]

The Beady Skunk Skanlger is a keychain dangler, or a fob dangler, or whatever the hell you want it to be kind of dangler. This is a unique piece. It is made by me, using all hand tools. The wire is thick and tough, the skulls tough, the bead tough. As is true with all […]

This is the Carved Knipper. It’s a collaboration. The Sheath is made by me, the beautiful blade, by Terry Knipscheid, a super talented and wonderful man, located in MN. I had this idea for a EDC – every day carry -sized blade and knew of Terry through some work he’d done for me (making me […]

The Knipper is pretty badass. Terry Knipscheid makes the blades for me,  and I wrap them in one of my sheaths, make a bead and offer them almost exclusively on Instagram. If you’d like one, let me know .

Chad wanted a big Fin that would accept bills in a graceful way – unfolded. I adapted the setup Ive been using in my Longbone wallets and made it fit a bigger Fin. it worked great and will be my new “from now on” setup, I was that happy with it.

The Snoof is a construction of my own design, riffed off of an old standard turn of the century coin purse. The outside is a great super mellow natural veg tan, which i left alone -unusual for me. This is one clean unit.

Bob got himself a nice dash set for his FXR. Held on by brass bolts, it wont go anywhere and two plys that are glued and stitched, guarantee it will last. Far out.

I love getting emails like this after a long week. Thanks for the kind words John, I am really happy you like your Knipper. This blade/sheath combo is designed for exactly what you are using it for: every day carry. Very Cool! Thanks a lot for letting me know you are happy. I wish more […]

Steve Got my wallet today. That thing is bad ass! Can’t wait to start getting it broke in. I really appreciate your quick turn around.  I’ll be getting ahold of you soon to get a couple more items. Thank You  Bryan r

Hijinx Apparel Jay has one of my wallets – its been in his pocket for quite some time. He’s been very happy with it. thanks Jay

I have been offering, on a very limited basis a sheath/blade combo called the Knipper. For the most part, I only show these on Instagram, where they get scooped up pretty quickly. I have been working with a great guy and bladesmith by the name of Terry Knipschied, he makes the blades, I make the […]

Summer is well underway. I like Summer, the weather is nice, the bikes beckon, we BBQ, we go to the beach, we eat, drink and be merry, we go to the pool, whatever,  and the shop is hot. For me, a hot shop is tougher to work in than a cold shop. I can always […]

Hello All: I’ve been busy in the shop, working on some new things and trying to mix it up a bit. While I love making wallets, belts, and some of the other goodies that you’ll find in my ETSY Store – I felt like I needed a new challenge. I want to avoid getting stale […]

This is one of those stories that my close family and friends are not going to believe. They aren’t going to believe it because I exercised HUGE patience, found some restraint and dug down deep to find a sense of humor in it all, and once I did- it was all good. So, long story […]

Mark is a repeat customer that I hear from every now and then.  I’ve made him a belt, a pocket wallet, maybe another thing or two, and now another belt. I’ll say it again and I’ll say it every time stuff like this happens – my customers are loyal and they rule! “Steve,  The belt […]

Goose writes: Steve, You have truly outdone yourself!  I picked up the new wallet and belt today and am very happy with how much fine detail is in every inch.  The added details of the pennies with my year of birth, the  combination of stamps, and the subtle color variations are  great details that really […]
