rawcustom Report post Posted May 6, 2014 Finally made myself a knife that I will keep. Seems like every time I make one for myself I end up selling it and then hunting season roles around and I am forced to use an old hack job I made when I was 17. Finished the knife up a couple months ago and have been waiting for some slow time to make the sheath. Been researching a lot on the forums, and after picking up some more supplies (excellent customer service from Springfield Leather) and making a few tools (stitching pony, awl, sewing palm) I made the following. Used a saddle stitch and think I will be switching to this method from now on. Also I have to say tooling leather with my Bearman Maul is a much more enjoyable and efficient process over the ball-peen of yesterday. A job can be downright enjoyable when you use the right tools.

Jaymack Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Nice work! I checked out your face book page as well. I really like your knives too. Are you a member of bladeforums.com? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawcustom Report post Posted May 7, 2014 Thanks everyone for the comments! I have a couple posts on blade forums, but my work internet filters every knife forum except knifenetwork.com so I post a bit more there. I am trying to be more active but it seems exhausting to be involved in too many forums. I've been working lately on the leather side of things so spend most my forum time here.
