Favorite parts of what’s left of America

Round knives. One of the most used leather tools.

Staying busy around here and looking forward to cooler weather. I took on a new “hobby” back in April, and started making a few leather knives. I’ve always been fascinated by the tools of the leather trade, whether it’s stamping tools or the knives we use for cutting. The round knife in the photos is the latest one from my knife shop, and it’s the first one I’m making available for sale. I won’t be making many–for a couple of reasons. The first being that I need to juggle my knifemaking projects with my leather projects. The second is the fact that I’m probably the slowest knife maker in existence.

I won’t be accepting advance orders, but I will be offering products here and there as they are completed. Comments and questions are always welcome, and feel free to reach out by email to BruceGibson@aol.com.

If you would like to own this one, it’s available over on my other website. All the specs and details are listed there. Here’s the link to it: https://gibsonleather.com/products/gibson-traditional-round-head-knife-for-leather

On the bench.

Happy Monday! Thought I’d write a few lines and show a few photos of what’s been going on around here. First, a quick “THANK YOU!” to all of my awesome customers that make this possible. If it weren’t for you, I’d have to do something stupid and worthless–like run for Congress.

Real quick, speaking of idiocy/Congress, the Postal Service is still crippled by the current idiot in charge, Louis DeJoy. We ship everything Priority Mail, which used to mean three to four days for delivery. They’re still getting close–usually within a couple of days of their “promise,” but always kind of a crap-shoot these days. The stuff we’ve been shipping has been seeing problems at the USPS distribution centers in Pensacola, Florida, and Austin, Texas. Everything has been arriving–so far. My hat’s off to the US Postal Service employees at ground-level for getting the job done despite the dumbasses at the top, and Congress poised to sabotage them at every turn.

I’m working on adding knife sheaths for the Buck 110 and 112. This is an experiment, and we’ll see how it goes. I’ve thrown in a few in the photos above to show our progress so far. I’m also working to stock the websites as I’m not currently accepting advance orders. If you see something you like, it’s in-stock and ships in a day or two.

That’s it for now. I’m caffeinated enough to get back to it.
