We've hand-picked a small selection of Leather Tools that are among the best choices for miniature leatherworking projects.
The Swivel Knife is one of the primary tools used in carving leather. Its design allows you to make smooth, graceful cuts in leather. The wide blade pushes the edges of the cut aside, to aid in obtaining better detail and relief.
The 1/4" Angled Blade is the best blade for carving small designs and doing miniature leather work. The sharp tapered tip allows you to achieve fine detail and control, and is highly recommended for small-scale leather work.

| TL150 | Swivel Knife Handle with 3/8" Straight Blade | $18.50 |
| TL1514 | 1/4" Angled Blade for Detail Work | $10.00 |
We offer two mallets: an inexpensive and light-weight wooden mallet, as well as a traditional rawhide mallet (9 oz. weight). These non-metal mallets are best for use with leather stamps, as they won't damage or mash the handles.

A select offering of Craftool brand small leather stamps, suitable for miniatures and small carving projects.
Did you know that you can sand, file, grind or change the shape of some of these stamping tools to customize them to better suit your needs? All you need is some sandpaper or files, a hard surface (such as the top of a bench-vise or anvil) and a hammer, (a grinder will work if you have one). You can modify standard off-the-shelf tools to be smaller or more refined.
Items are shown about double their actual size.
