Maybe we'll see the Patriots redeem themselves after the whole "Deflategate" fiasco. I think Atlanta has a solid chance though too, so we'll see. Its been a great season for the NFL - seriously.

Welcome To: Design Phase
Once we've decided that a product is viable we enter the prototype phase. Each product goes through several stages of revision until we come up with a final design. Our high quality leather takes awhile to break in, so we also want to consider how the product will age. We check stress points and see if we need to reinforce any sections that require stitching or hardware.

Fairwell 2016... and Helloooo 2017!
And 2016 draws to the close. All of us guys at The Anvil Shop hope you had a marvelous Christmas. We certainly did! Although I think close proximity to the masses has brought us all down with sickness temporarily. Hopefully we're on the upswing of all that though. So here's to our customers, and here's to an excellent 2017. We'll see you on the other side of the New Year!

Anvil Tools Series: The Leather Hole Punch
BEHOLD! THE NOBLE HOLE PUNCH! Or more aptly, the Rotary Leather Hole Punch crafted by C.S. Osborne. Every Snap, rivet, and chain attachment on Anvil wallets has its place. You can imagine how much usage this little guy gets around here. The best tools often have a simple design that makes them sturdy. The hole punch is no different. Its no wonder C.S. Osborne has been in business since 1826.
Happy 40th to The Anvil!
