Custom leather clicker dies, made to your pattern
Steel rule cutting dies for leather crafters and leather goods brands. Send your pattern, approve a proof, and get a die that cuts the same clean shape every time.
Cut every piece the same, in seconds
A clicker die is a steel blade bent into the exact outline of your pattern and fixed in a base. Press it into the leather and the piece comes out clean, with every edge, slot and hole in the same place. Leather crafters use dies to save hours of hand cutting and to keep products consistent from the first piece to the hundredth.
Leather craft is our specialty. Most of our dies go to makers of wallets, card holders and small leather goods.

Why a clear acrylic base
Our signature leather die uses a 15 mm clear acrylic base. You can see the leather through it, so you can place each cut to avoid blemishes and follow the grain. That saves leather on every hide.
