| Rooted Deep in Tradition |
| |
| It all began with our founder Saul Bell who grew a business full of forming tools, gravers and files—and never lost sight of the craftsman. From buckle and rowel to tack and spurs, we are grateful to support the traditions carried on by Western Artisans. We tip our hat to Saul, and the metalsmiths, leathersmiths and engravers who paved the way for the Western makers of today! |
