Why PK9 Gear Makes the Best Leather Leashes

At PK9 Gear, craftsmanship isn’t a tagline — it’s a standard. Every leather dog leash we make is built with premium materials, using carefully selected hides, solid metal hardware, and time-honoured techniques. Whether you're training, hiking, or walking through a hotel lobby, our handcrafted leather leashes deliver elegance and strength.

See how our leather leashes are stitched, edged, and tested

Our leashes use solid brass or marine-grade stainless steel hardware — never cheap alloys.

• Rust-resistant
• High strength
• Designed for long-term outdoor use

When you hold a PK9 leash, you’ll feel the difference in quality and control.

We saddle stitch all our leather leashes by hand — a method that uses two needles to create a stronger, more secure seam. Compared to machine stitches:

Saddle stitching won’t unravel if one thread breaks

It offers twice the durability

It’s the standard for artisan craftsmanship in saddlery and premium goods

It takes more time, but it’s worth every second.

Each leash is edge-finished by hand for comfort, appearance, and durability.

1. Edges are cut and beveled
2. Treated with natural wax or gum tragacanth
3. Polished smooth for a seamless, rounded feel

This process prevents fraying and gives your leash a clean, refined look.
