Walleye Wallet

I'm not sure if anyone else found this product at the recent Toronto Sportsman show. The booth beside the Rice Lake Festival booth was Big Eye Leather. They had some really cool products made from walleye skin which had been tanned into a unique leather. They had gloves, cell phone holders, etc.

The people that did find it really, enjoyed the products.

I picked up a wallet and business card holder and after a few weeks of use, I love it. The stuff is really durable and good quality. The best part is everytime I show someone my walleye leather wallet, they say the same thing...Your kidding?..

 

A little pricey but certainly a conversation starter. Apparently you can embroider on the leather as well, maybe a festival logo on a few next year. The guy was very nice and from Manitoba, fish skin comes from commercial fish harvested.

 

Anyone else pick up these products?

The one I have is brown. Walleye skin on exterior and aligator skin interior, held in incredibly manly pants pocket except when in use.

Those are pretty cool, I too have a wallet and business card holder.

 

Its been about a year now and they are both holding up well....which is a surprise since my wallet gets used more than it should. Too many new, shiny things at the tackle shop!

That's awesome. I would probably have gotten one if I saw the booth at the Sportsman show.
