Tools of the Trade
Every piece crafted in the Lunar workshop is made using the finest hand tools and materials. Each tool plays a crucial role in shaping, stitching, and finishing high-quality leather goods. Here’s a look at the essentials that bring every design to life.
Pricking Irons
🔹 Designed for precision, pricking irons ensure uniform stitch spacing and aid in creating durable saddle-stitched seams. The fine, polished teeth allow for clean and effortless penetration into leather, making them essential for achieving professional-quality craftsmanship.
Awls
🔹 Essential for piercing leather, awls provide the control needed to create small, precise holes for hand-stitching. Their ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, allowing for accuracy and ease when working with thick or layered leather.
Edge Burnisher
🔹 Crafted to refine and smooth the edges of leather, burnishers help create a clean, polished finish that enhances both the durability and appearance of leather goods. Different groove sizes allow for use on various thicknesses of leather.
Leather Skiver
🔹 Designed for thinning leather with precision, a high-quality skiving knife allows for seamless layering and edge refinements. This tool is crucial in making watch bands, wallets, and other detailed leather goods that require flexibility and a sleek finish.
Cutting Tools (Knives & Blades)
🔹 Razor-sharp, high-carbon steel knives provide superior cutting performance, ensuring clean and precise cuts through full-grain leather. These tools offer stability and control, allowing for intricate detailing and seamless edge work.
Thread & Stitching Material
🔹 High-quality waxed polyester and superfine linen threads provide exceptional strength, resistance to wear, and a refined aesthetic. They ensure lasting durability while complementing the leather's natural beauty.
