I like the ranger. Actually they all look very comfortable. Nice use of different wood. I never see acadia or mulberry.

Leather cutters.

I use all kind of cutter, but i hate evrytime i must take in my hand that "objects", week blades, my 5 mm very hard leather is imposible to cut with them.So i think to make myself one or two cutters.I use Sandvik carbonsteel, (2 mm), handles is pear wood on the small one, and plum wood ond the biger one.Brass pins, on a biger i put in the midle one mosaic pin, it is left in my shop alone in that time
