Innovation and Quality Driven by Experience
This work is shaped by years of hands-on making and a transition into leathercraft driven by physical limitations and adaptability.

The focus remains on creating leather goods with integrity, purpose, and lasting character.
Steve is the founder and craftsman behind Old Rhino Leathercraft. With over five years of hands-on experience as a maker, the transition into leathercraft grew naturally from a background in woodworking, adapting skills and attention to detail to a medium better suited to physical limitations. As a service-disabled veteran and small business owner, craftsmanship, durability, and function remain at the core of every piece created. Each product reflects a commitment to quality, personalized service, and the belief that well-made leather goods should be both practical and built to last.
