Quality shoemaker tools, materials and wooden shoe lasts
My name is Julian. Inspired by the craftsmanship of my grandfather, I have started to make traditional handsewn shoes 4 years ago. Very fast, I discovered my passion for vintage shoemaker tools and started to restore, collect and sell them.
In my shop you can find not only vintage shoemaker tools but also tools, which I created by my self like welt knifes, channel openers and crimping clamps. I would be happy to provide you with everything you need in the field of bespoke shoemaking and shoemaking as a hobby.

For beginners in shoemaking
As I have started with shoemaking, it was laborious to collect all necessary tools to get started. Here I am offering shoemaker starter kits, which comes with all tools you need like shoemaker hammer, lasting pliers, shoemaker knife, fudge wheel and awls. Additionally, the sets include a collection of shoemaker books, which provides you knowledge in pattern making and construction of handmade shoes. If the sets are sold, please write me a message and I can make a reservation for you.

Tool production - Made in Germany
I do the whole production process from the technical drawing to the finished product,
to offer you high quality shoemaking tools.

Replacement tool handle
After long years of service, the handles of the shoemaker irons age due to the constant heat up with the spirit lamp. I offer quality replacement handles in the traditonal German shape.
Welting board
It´s a great tool to support you at the bottom making process. The welting board fixes the shoe proper on your legs with the bottom up. That makes the welting process more comfortable and leads to precise and clean stitches.


Clamp for upper crimping
The latest product from my workshop is a clamp for upper crimping. Uppers are made using this technique, especially in the bespoke shoemaking and bootmaking trades, where laces are undesirable. For exhample chelsea boots. The clamp can be ordered in my shop. It is conceivable to make this tool also with other dimensions as "Made-to-order".
Shoemaker welt knife
This is a series of shoemaker welt knifes made from high-alloy cold work steel with heat treatment. It is used, to trim the welt and beveling leather edges. The knife is also available for left handed craftsmen.


Shoemaker channel opener
The second tool I made in my workshop is a channel opener. It is an basic tool to open and shape channels in the shoemaking process. It is used basically for the making of holdfasts and stitiching channels.
Handle for shoemaker tools
The handle is made from steamed beech with nickel-plated ferrule and oil finishing. The design is close to the handle from famous workshop R.Hess Magstadt. They fits perfect for fudge wheels, pattern wheels, stitch markers, welt and feathering knifes.
