Growing up I spent many a weekend romping the limestone banks of the Flint river and its tributary creeks in Southwest Georgia, the dotted ponds of Middle Georgia, and the mountain lakes in the Northeast section of the state. In the mornings when the mist is still rising on the water you will be seldom deprived of the crisp call of a Belted Kingfisher as he surveys his territory. A more handsome and regal a bird would be difficult to find, but what always amazed me is their sharp eye and precise dive. Rarely does a Kingfisher miss his submersed query. When I began my leather business I soon realized that the Kingfisher represents the very traits of precision, skill, elegance, and sportsmanship that I wanted my business to be known for.  Today, each Kingfisher product bears a small symbol embossed into the leather which we call the Double K. The two Ks represent my last name Kolbie and the business' name Kingfisher. It is my personal mark of approval and a handshake with our customers attesting to my commitment to the traits aforementioned. We are proud to say that you will always find our signature where an artisan's should be, in the front right bottom corner.   ~   Luke G. Kolbie
