Designed for Leather Knot Work

This purpose-built leatherworker’s knot jig set removes much of the guesswork from tying decorative leather knots and bands.

Unlike generic mandrels, each jig is pattern-guided and clearly shows the correct over-under sequence, making it suitable for both learning knot structure and producing repeatable professional results.

The larger mandrels are ideal for decorative band work, commonly mounted onto a leather strap and finished with a clasp, buckle or other hardware.

Knots Supported

• Gaucho knots
• Pineapple knots
• Long Turk’s Head bands
• Decorative leather bands and wraps

Optimised for Leather

• Designed for kangaroo lace, roo lace and leather cord
• Works well with 2.5–3 mm lace and similar materials
• Deliberate strand spacing allows knots to be dressed off the jig
• Final knot size tightens naturally during dressing

This mirrors real leatherworking practice, where decorative bands are often tied, dressed and then mounted onto leather rather than worn directly from the jig.

What’s Included

• Stacking set of patterned knot jigs
• 12 different knot patterns in total
• Screw-top outer storage container
• Internal storage for stainless steel pins
• 60 stainless steel pins included
• Designed and 3D printed in-house

Each jig nests inside the next, keeping the full set compact and organised on the workbench.
