Charlie, Were the fixed blade harness knife and punch based on vintage patterns? I haven't previously seen them as separate tools in a set -- very neat!

If you get a chance, check out the latest copy of Blade Mag, page 86. Ed Fowler does a tremendous job of selecting subjects and photos for his pieces
(pssst...see if you find the thing that Tony made me break on one of MY projects and then had the gall to say, "uh...I've never done THAT before".)

Is it that tang that looks like it broke at the choil in the background -- a crinking gone wrong?

Yep, if he doesn't make it as a knifemaker, Kerry certainly has a future taking pictures!

Jake, I've seen lots of vintage punches, but no fixed blade types except Tony's. He made that set with me in mind, if I remember, but every Leathersmith could make use of a set like that I think. Every one of those punches will make a precise hole, even an oval if needed!
I used to make a living at custom leather goods, but have changed careers a couple of times since.

Or, if he quit with all the photos he could get around to making some knives!
I can't say I've noticed fixed leather punches in the old catalogs, but I'm pretty sure I've seen a "knife" that was only a folding leather punch - no blade. I can't see why people back then would want one though -- surely you'd want a blade too? I've never seen a actual example of it though. It's not like the lockback screwdriver blade only Empire electrician -- the screwdriver blade is a real blade too.

You're telling me, a couple weeks ago he told me that he could probably make me a knife after the end of fishing/beer drinking season.

I'd prefer a lockback if someone ever decided to make one....

I (obviously) forgot that project . . . .I still remember my name though!!
I have about 100 little projects I've put back for retirement - I better start writing them down! I've always been one to bite off more than I can chew!
