Multi-Way Lead
Multi-Way Lead
The 3 points of our concept is simple. Firstly, the lead must be "Sturdy". Secondly, it must be able "to be simply repaired". Thirdly, it must be able "to be used for a long period of time". Hence, we introduce to you, our durable multi-way lead.
Best Material & Best Processes
Well-aligned material which has undergone neat processing with natural methods can be used for a long period of time when they are finished.
It is our policy not to use stitching in the longitudinal direction or rivets on our products. Rivets leave a hole on the body of the leather which weakens it. Also, vertical direction stitching causes a strain on the leather when force is applied, making it easy to tear. We are careful to produce the best quality products which can withstand the strain of your hands when you use it.
In addition, the leather we use is robust. Usually, when leather is cut, the edge is rough.
If you hold such a piece of leather for a long time, your hand will feel sore.
However, our Multi-Way Lead can be held for a long time as it is made from one piece of leather and does not have a rough cutting edge.
The edge part has also been beveled (a processing method which cuts the corners diagonally). We do this extra process so that the lead fits gently in your hands and is comfortable to use.
Commitment to Handsewing
The most beneficial part of hand-sewn products is that it can be "easily repaired" Our techniques used are from ancient horse harness making. So we are able to produce good quality leads that are "easy to repair".
If you look closely at the photo, you can see that the seams are actually diagonal. We use a special tool with diamond-shaped eyes to make the unique perforations. When we hand-sew up the product, the stitches go through the holes diagonally.
While it is possible to sew in straight lines, quality is improved with this technique of diagonally sewing. We also use high quality yarn thread to sew so that the product strength and quality is enhanced. This type of yarn is strong and yet does not cut the leather, so it reduces the risk of damage. We consider all our techniques, designs and materials carefully, so that we can create high quality products for you to enjoy that are durable and yet can be repaired.

A Single Piece of Tochigi Leather Is Used
The leather used to produce “Multi-Way Lead” is the oil leather made from Tochigi Leather (Nume Leather with Oil Finish).
A brief description of Tochigi Leather would be that it is an excellent leather for use to manufacture goods.
The tannin is beautifully finished and penetrates deep into the leather. It is also strong and robust.
In addition, the leather is oil-finished to "moisturize the leather". Similar to human skin, leather needs oil to prevent it from cracking. Hence, Tochigi leather is finished with oil to keep the original flexibility of the leather.
Non-tangle Structure
Surprisingly, most of our customers want to solve the problem of "entangled dog leash for multi-dogs". Using our multi-way lead, you will not face the problem of entanglement no matter how the dogs move.
One of the biggest problems of multi-dog leads is "entanglement".
On our multi-way leads, we have 3 places which exert force. Using our "+Wan" system, where 2 leads are mounted for use, there is a total of 5 places which rotate. This multi-rotation system solves the problem of "entanglement".
Important Points To Note Before & After Purchase
