Workshop Description: The swivel knife: The most important tool for carving leather. Learning to properly sharpen a swivel knife – and keep it sharp – is a process. Learn how to sharpen your swivel knife blades by hand using polishing paste, diamond paste powder, sanding papers, and sole leather. Do you have any specific problems with the swivel knife? Bring your questions to ask Jürgen. He will also show you also how to repair a ceramic blade.
Materials to bring: Swivel knife, blades to sharpen, notebook, and a pencil.
Workshop Instructor: Jürgen Volbach is a leatherworker from Cologne, Germany, who had his first lessons 30 years ago with the famous boot and saddle maker, Don Atkinson in Kerrville/Ingram, Texas. He worked with leather every day, making leather designs and toolings and carvings for clients using old and new leather skills. In recent years, he has used modeling tools more and more in his leatherwork, especially with 3-dimensional pieces. Jürgen teaches many workshops in his work space in Cologne and other countries/towns to teach students the different techniques. He is the 2020 recipient of the Al Stohlman Award for Achievement in Leathercraft.
