Leather Craft: File Knife Leather Sheath 

Thank you so much Dr. Volker. Coming from a master teacher such as yourself, that is a huge compliment.

First of all, thanks for the view and comment! All of my tools came from Tandy Leather. They have multiple stores located around the country, and they sell online too. Web site is www.tandyleather.com . The site has a store locator. If you have a craft store near you such as Michael's or Hobby Lobby, they usually have a few tools, but not a very big supply. Of course, Amazon has just about anything in the world too. I would start off with a couple of punches for stitching, a pack of needles for sewing, an edge trimmer/beveler, and a rotary cutter (looks like a pizza cutter). As far as brands, I don't have any suggestions. I just bought the brand my local Tandy has in stock. I would think for the average person starting out in leather working, most any brand would do. As he gets more into it, he could invest in "better" tools. Once he does it a while, he can tailor his tools to his needs and interests. I hope this helps. Thanks again!
