Hi,
I just did some rope filework on a 1/2" thick stablized leather block.
The filework patter is the standard rope using a round file.
No dye added. The stabilized leather was just buffed.

Hi
It has fascinated me 🙂
I havn't tried it yet but if you use a stabilized leather block as the knife handle you can inlay something you want into the side of the
handle. Inlay whatever it is just like you would a wood knife handle.
Will it work OK....I dunno.
I have stabilized my silver wire inlay in a knife handle....stabilized after the hand silver wire inlay.
I also think you may be able to carve the stabilized stacked leather handle. Using an air powered hand grinder.
