The Shipyard is a folded leather work mat for anyone who maintains, repairs, or builds knives and tools. Open it on your bench and everything has a place — the knife lies flat on the main surface, screws go in the magnetic slots so nothing rolls off the table, bits for your screwdriver sit in their own magnetized section. Close it and it packs into a branded hard box that fits in your bag.
If you’ve ever lost a pivot screw mid-disassembly, this is what you needed.
Both color combos use the same two leathers, swapped between exterior and inlays:
All full-grain — the top layer of the hide, not corrected or bonded scraps.
The Shipyard is a multi-layer construction. Every compartment is cut by hand, every layer is stitched by hand. The magnetic slots are set individually, the edges are hand-burnished. There are no shortcuts in the build — which is exactly why it holds up and stays flat on the bench after years of use. One mat takes more than 10 hours from start to finish.
Is this for carrying a knife?
No. The Shipyard is a work surface, not a carry case. It’s for disassembly, maintenance, and repair — you open it on a table, work on it, then fold it up. If you’re looking for knife carry, the Sailor sheath is for that.
What tools does it work with?
Any folding knife or tool that fits on a 26 × 20 cm surface. The magnetic slots along the top catch screws, pivot pins, springs, and small metal parts so nothing gets lost mid-job. The lower bit section holds standard screwdriver bits.
How strong are the magnets?
Strong neodymium magnets — they hold small hardware securely even if the mat shifts on the bench. Not strong enough to pull a closed knife toward them, but strong enough that a loose screw won’t roll off.
Can I carry it in a bag?
Yes. Folded it’s 13 × 20 cm and 12–14 mm thick — fits in the main pocket of most backpacks. The branded hard box (24 × 17 × 6.5 cm) protects it in transit or storage.
When will my order ship?
All pre-orders ship in the second half of August 2026. You’ll get a tracking number the day it ships.
Who makes it and where?
I do — Vitalii, by hand, in my workshop in Kyiv, Ukraine. Every piece takes over 10 hours to build. Every order ships with a handwritten note. We’ve shipped 7,000+ orders and earned 700+ five-star reviews.
Choose your color combo. 5 spots. August delivery.
Most edges get one coat of paint and call it done. Ours don’t.
I learned a polishing method from an old shoemaker I met in my grandma’s village. He walked me through it once, years ago. I lost touch with him not long after. It took me 5 years to build my own compound formula around what he taught me — that part’s mine, and it’s staying that way.
Now every edge gets seven hand-polished passes before it leaves my bench. No shortcuts. No paint sealing it shut. Just leather, polished the old way, until it holds a shine on its own.
Run your thumb along it. That’s the difference.
Hey, I’m Vitalii — the maker behind Pirate Goods. I’ve been hand-stitching every wallet, sheath, and organizer in my Kyiv workshop since 2020. If anything’s ever off with your order, message me directly — I answer every email myself.
Have you ever been working on something with many small components and you drop that screw and it rolls under your desk and you are on your hands and knees swearing and cursing trying to find it?
Well this is the answer!
Not only is it practical, but with Vitalii's incredible skills it is a work of art that is going to last you a lfetime. I feel honoured to own this piece.
The product is top quality. Completely hand made. Vitalii is a phenomenal artisan! His customer service is fantastic as well! I definitely recommend him and his work!
This is a beautifully made product. I’ve used it for taking apart small items, and also bring to the hotel to hold my items. A plus is the iPhone watch charger will hold in place w the magnets.
Vitalii is a true genius and master of his craft! Every little detail, from the choice of leather to the finishing of the stitching and edges, to the packaging with its little hidden surprise, is well thought out. You can literally feel that there is heart and soul in this work of art! Now I can do something good to my knives and not have to worry about losing anything. Thank you for this Masterpiece!
The excellent handwork on this piece is truly outstanding!
The leather is also of exceptionally high quality!
A beautiful piece of craftsmanship with a stunning design!
