Bold pull-up, heavy wax, and texture you can see from across the bench. Forgemaster shows off everything the hide lived through — fat wrinkles, grain shifts, pull-up streaks, and natural marks that catch light in a way that’s straight-up mesmerizing. Hot-stuffed with a deep oil/wax blend, it cuts clean, shapes well, and breaks in with a surface that keeps revealing new character over time. Built for makers who want leather with presence, not perfection.
