The head on this one wears a fire helmet — long rear brim, shield badge on the front — with two crossed axes behind it and crossbones below. English has called the skull-as-emblem a death's head since at least the 1590s; the phrase turns up in Shakespeare's Henry IV. The helmet-and-axes badge we can't date for you, and we're not going to guess.

CNC-milled solid brass head on a stainless steel handle — one piece, 110 mm (4 5/16") overall. Size: 22x19mm (7/8" x 3/4").

What it's for

At 22x19mm this is a centrepiece, not an accent. It sits well on a wallet back, the flap of a tool roll, a belt keeper, a luggage tag, or the middle of a notebook cover. It's also about the right size to fill a 40mm round patch with room to spare. On anything narrower than about 30mm it'll crowd the edges.

If you want it resized, the axes dropped, or a number cut into the helmet shield, tell us what you need and we'll quote it.

How to use it well

The crossed axes reach wider than the skull, so line up on the skull's centre line rather than the outline of the whole block, or it will read off-kilter. Case the leather until the surface has gone back to near its natural colour, then drive it with one firm blow — the helmet crown is the tallest part and needs the load to land square on it. Check the first strike on scrap; this much relief punishes a leaning tool.

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.
