まずは昨日の財布です、カービングがないのでフォルムがもろに出ますね。漉きの入れ方やボンドの塗り方や張り方で見え方も変わりごまかしが効かないので気を遣いながらの作業でした。
はじめての色使いですが個人的には気に入っています。
表は柔らかに膨らみのある女性の感じにしてみました。
糸の色を悩みましたが表に合わせて黒にして中の薄紫にアクセントになるようにしました、しかしこの色使いは縫い目がモロに見えてくるので縫い目が乱れないようにかなり気を使って縫っていきました。これはつかれたな～、、、、。
今日発送します、オーナーさんが気に入ってくれるといいな～。
さ～、今日はいつも使う刃物を研ぎ直したので紹介しようと思います。
まず上にあるのはラウンドナイフというものです、これは厚い革の直線を切る時に使うのですが正直今は使っていません、使ってみたくて何年も前に買ったのですが今の自分の仕事には必要ないです。しかしこれからサドルを作るときには活躍してもらいます！
下段の左から日本の革包丁です、これは神戸に行ったときに買いました、歴史のある料理包丁を作っているところの物です。でも安物です(笑) でもカッコイイ！ ちゃんと研げれば問題なしです。
次は豆カンナの刃です、革の角を落とす面取りに使います。
次が菱キリです、手縫いの際にこれで穴を貫通させながら縫い進めていきます、用途に合わせて刃先は２種類用意しています。
最後にスーベルナイフです、これでデザインをカットしていきます、このカットでカービングの出来の９０％は決まってしまうと思っていますので大切な道具です。このナイフも用途に合わせて今のところ２種類用意しています。
いかがでしたか？こんな道具を使っています。少しは手作りで作っている事を感じてもらえたでしょうか？
それではまた明日！

Hello, I’m going to talk about the wallet and knife I wrote about yesterday.
Because the wallet does not have any carving, the focus of the wallet is its shape and form. I had to be extremely careful in how I shaped the wallet. I wanted it to be feminine yet cool at the same time. I think it came out well.
I was debating which color string to use for the wallet. I decided to use black because I wanted it to accent the leather. However, on the inside part if I used black string, it would stand out on the purple leather; therefore, I had to be extra careful when sewing so that there were no mistakes.
I hope the owner of this wallet likes it!
I sharpened my knives. The knife at the top is a Round Knife and is used for cutting thick leather in straight lines. I don’t use this knife now because I don’t need it for my current work. I plan on using it when I make a saddle.
The bottom left knife is a Japanese leather knife. I bought it when I went to Kobe. The maker of the knife is old and well-known for making cooking knives. I thought it was interesting so I bought it. It was cheap and cool.
Below is the mini-skiving knife called “Mame Kanna” in Japanese and it is used as an edger.
Next is a stitching awl. I have two types of needles for it.
Last is the swivel knife. It is a very important tool used for carving.
These are the types of tools I use for my leather work. I hope you can understand about how I hand-make all of my products.
