A small pointed shield with two horns at the top and a spike at each shoulder, tiling in staggered rows so the point of one drops neatly into the notch of the next. Both words in the name are a stretch. A scallop radiates ribs from a hinge and carries ears at the sides, and this has neither; scales have to overlap, and these meet edge to edge. What it really is is a horned dart tessellation, and as tessellations go it is a very tidy one.

CNC-milled solid brass head on a stainless steel handle — one piece, 110 mm (4 5/16") overall. Sizes: LT412A — 7x6mm (9/32" x 1/4") · LT412B — 17x9mm (21/32" x 11/32") · LT412AB — both heads together. Cut depth: 1.3 mm — best on 3 mm leather or thicker.

What it's for

A is tiny at 7x6mm, which makes it the one for jewellery-scale work, watch straps, card wallets and narrow bands where a bigger repeat would look coarse. B at 17x9mm is proportionally wider as well as larger, so it covers a panel far faster and reads as a bolder texture: bag fronts, journal covers, sheath panels, belt backs. AB gives you both, which is useful because the small head fills the awkward margins that the big one cannot reach on a shaped piece.

Should you need this dart at a size between the two, or with the shoulder spikes softened for a quieter field, we will cut it. Custom drawings are part of the normal week here.

How to use it well

The horns are the registration feature: seat them either side of the point of the impression above and the spacing takes care of itself. Because the units are small and spiky, a heavy hand will crush the points into the surrounding leather, so use a firm single blow on well-cased leather rather than brute force. Do a test row on scrap to find the depth before you start on the real panel.

Workshop Tips

Veg-tan leather, lightly cased — damp to the touch, not wet.

  • Use 3 mm leather or thicker. Some of our patterns cut up to 1.8 mm deep. On thinner leather a backing scrap underneath is mandatory, or the pattern will distort the back.
  • One clean strike, square to the surface. Don't tilt the tool.
  • For deeper relief: lift the stamp fully, re-seat it in the same impression, and strike again. Never rock the tool — rocking gives you ghosted double edges.
  • Hot stamping: wear gloves. Metal carries heat faster than you expect.

Care

Proper care and maintenance will help extend the lifespan of your stamped leather items and keep them looking their best.

  1. Clean with a soft cloth: After each use, gently wipe the brass head and stainless steel parts of the stamp with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or debris. This helps to maintain its appearance and prevent buildup.
  2. Store in a dry place: When not in use, store the stamp in a cool, dry place to prevent any potential corrosion or tarnishing of the brass head and stainless steel parts. This helps to maintain their integrity and prolong their lifespan.
  3. Handle with care: When using the stamp, handle it with care to avoid any unnecessary impact or force. This will prevent damage to the brass head and stainless steel parts, ensuring their longevity.
  4. Avoid abrasive materials: Refrain from using abrasive materials or harsh chemicals when cleaning the stamp, as they can potentially damage the brass head or stainless steel parts. Stick to gentle cleaning methods using soft cloths or brushes.
