About Me
Retired 30 year law enforcement officer, opened my knife/leather shop in 2012, "COCAJO Blades and Leather". I built my shop with the idea of making knives, but the leather half has taken off beyond my expectations so that's where most of my time is now spent. Custom leather of your design....
