Custom Leather Stamp?

[bodam]

Since I started leatherworking, I thought it would be cool to stamp my makers mark on my sheaths. Has anyone gone this route? If so, who did you use for your stamp?

A makers mark is very important if you want to become a professional for sure. Inexpensive advertising, and allowing prospective customers to know who made their sheath if they bought it second hand. Its happened to me on quite a few occasions.

The place that made mine does not work with the Leather Factory any more so I'm no help. But I'd love to hear some alternatives as well, I want a small stamp for small work and dont want to spend a lot for it.

Here is a place I found Online. They are near me in California. I have not ordered a stamp yet, but plan to do so soon. I would like to hear if other people have recommendations.

This place has Delrin stamps are that about a third of the price of a steel stamp.
Anyone know if these are good???

Just had one made, it's the Delrin type. Looks awesome, cost $30. Guy's name is Nick Silva and I found him on ebay, but he can Paypal you an invoice directly without going through an auction. Don't know the guy personally or anything, but he made the stamp and shipped it the same day I ordered it, fast!

Here's a link to ebay auction: http://r.ebay.com/Y8n4z3 and his email: nicksilva@yahoo.com

Here's my stamp he made:


And, here's his options from his ebay auction:

Hey Anthony, thanks for the reference to Nick Silva.
Check out my new stamp!

He is super easy to work with!

 

[Self Made Knives]

Looks good! I need to get a commission from Nick.

 

[BonhamBlades]

Thanks, I will be contacting him tomorrow.

Anthony, you should get a comission or a free stamp, because there are going alot of us who dont have one getting one. Leather and kydex are what you have used it on riggt?

 

[Self Made Knives]

I bought it for leather, but have only used in on kydex so far. I've got two full shoulders in 2 different weights of leather, a lot of leather working tools, dyes, sealers, etc, but still haven't broken the ice on leather working yet. I've probably watched 40hrs of leather working videos on youtube, but just can't seem to get started.

Quit dragging your feet Marine. Lol it really isnt that bad, your quite possibly going to make a few ugly sheaths at first but will get the hang of it. My aunt was a saddle maker before her hands got too arthritic and she said the ease of drilling the holes for the stitches is worth the trade of twice as much sinew or thread.
If you have done the recon and research then suck it up and stitch away.
