Leatherworking is a traditional hobby that combines creativity, craftsmanship, and functionality. Through working with leather, you can create everything from knife sheaths, belts, and wallets to bags, bracelets, and decorative items. Many appreciate leathercraft because it provides the opportunity to make unique products that both look great and can be used for many years.
One of the great advantages of leatherworking is that you can start simply and develop your skills over time. With basic tools and materials, you can learn techniques such as cutting, stitching, shaping, embossing, and dyeing. As your experience grows, more and more opportunities open up for advanced projects and personalized designs.
Leather is a living natural material that develops character and patina through use. This makes every project unique and adds an extra dimension to the craft. Many also find leatherworking to be a relaxing and rewarding activity, where a focus on details and craftsmanship offers a break from a hectic everyday life.
Whether you want to make practical products for your own use, personalized gifts, or traditional crafts like knife sheaths and hiking gear, leatherworking is a hobby that combines the joy of creation, quality, and pride in craftsmanship. It is an activity that suits both beginners and experienced crafters alike, and it provides great satisfaction as the raw material is gradually shaped into a finished product with your own hands.
Description:
One of the world's most recommended knife steels, suitable for everything from small pocket knives to large swords, this is one of the toughest steels we know that is suitable for simple hardening. If you can't harden the steel, see our pre-hardened knife steel 80crv2. (Perfect for just grinding the steel to a finished blade, so-called stock removal)
The steel is well suited for forging but also stock removal/grinding as the alloy gives a less brittle result compared to e.g. O1 carbon steel. This steel can withstand a punch!
80crv2 is a steel used by knife makers all over the world when they want something that is sharp and strong. The Winkler Belt Knife is a knife that is made for tough use in demanding conditions, and of course 80crv2 is used in this one.

The designation Sort, for example 1st Sort and 2nd Sort means Sorting. It indicates how bent the piece of steel is. For example, 1st sorting has a bend of less than 1mm per meter , and is therefore more or less flat. If you need something flatter than 1st Sorting, you have to buy flat-ground steel, 2nd grade has from 1mm up to 4mm bend and 3rd grade has 4mm or more. In other words, 1st grade is the flattest pieces of that type, and 3rd grade is the one with the most bend. The bend comes from the steel being stored on large rolls before being unrolled and cut into smaller pieces, some bend can also come from when the steel is cut.
