Swiety Custom Leatherworks

  Hello again! I decided to make another cooperation with a sheathmaker from Poland. This time it will be a great leatherworker called Swiety (eng. 'saint'). He is well known in Poland not only by making leather goods, but also because he has played a part in promoting handmade leatherworking in our country. He makes a various leather stuff: sheats, pouches, belts, bags, wallets, cases, leather razor sharpeners and many, many more.. What is more, he uses different styles: from very decorative to simple and utility. Another thing very characteristic in his works is great quality decorative stampings. I will show only a very smal sample of his works.

Can wait to see how my sheath will look like...
