leather scribe, Marlin stick, forged hair pin, candle scribe, Blacksmith made.

Introducing our versatile and stylish leather scribe,or marlin stick, or hair pin, to be honest there are many other uses for this little item.  This little tool is handcrafted by me, Kevin, at my shop in Milverton, ON, and is designed to be as functional as it is beautiful.

The scribe starts as a 8 inch long piece of 1/4 inch round steel, which is heated and tapered at both ends. One end is looped to form a shepherd's crook and given a simple twist to add a touch of personality. The result is a handy tool that can be used for leatherwork, as a marlin spike, hair pin, or for any number of other purposes.

The scribe is buffed with a wire wheel for a smooth finish, and lightly coated with beeswax to prevent rusting.

Finished scribe is around 7 inches in length.
