The bat is genuinely there — spread wings, a small peaked body between them, a scalloped trailing edge on each wing. The scale part of the name is where it slips: stacked in staggered rows the wings interlock edge to edge, and imbrication means units actually lying over one another. So it is a bat-wing tessellation. We are claiming no meaning for it in any tradition, because we could not verify one. It is a silhouette that happens to tile beautifully, and that is enough.

CNC-milled solid brass head on a stainless steel handle — one piece, 110 mm (4 5/16") overall. Sizes: LT413A — 8x5mm (5/16" x 3/16") · LT413B — 17x7mm (21/32" x 9/32") · LT413AB — both heads together. Cut depth: 1.3 mm — best on 3 mm leather or thicker.

What it's for

A at 8x5mm is the small, dense version, good for card wallets, watch straps, narrow bands and anywhere you want texture rather than a recognisable shape. B at 17x7mm is more than twice as wide, so each bat reads as a bat rather than dissolving into pattern, which suits bag panels, journal covers, sheath fronts and box lids. AB is the pair, and it lets you run the big wing across the main field with the small one packed into borders and margins.

Bats are a request we get from people making very specific things. If you want one on its own as a single motif rather than a tiling unit, or at a size we do not list, we will draw it up for you.

How to use it well

Work in horizontal rows and let each wing tip settle into the notch between the two units above before you strike, since guessing the spacing on this one shows up badly across a panel. Keep the leather properly cased so the scalloped wing edges cut clean rather than mashing. Test the depth on scrap first: too deep and the thin body between the wings tears.

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.
