Your Place for New and Vintage Leather Tools
Welcome to Bruce Johnson Leather Tools!
When you are looking for proven leather tools to add to your workbench, I can help you find the appropriate tool. I feature vintage quality tool makers like Gomph, HF Osborne, Sauerbier, CS Osborne, and others. I also have some tools from modern makers as well at times. I scour the planet for leather tools, refurbish and restore them, and then list them here on my site for sale. I am also listing some new tools. I have new tools from Wayne Jueschke, Richard Brooks, William Klutts, and CS Osborne.
I have been working with leather for over thirty years and have personal experience with many of these tools. Please feel free to browse the leather tools listed for sale, view samples of my past leather work, check out some of the tutorials listed on the site, and visit the resource page for some tool maker history and links to other people in the leather industry.
