This is my first holster. It fits my Stoeger Cougar .40 cal semi. The belt loop is angled for a cross-draw. Also, my knife sheath. I make a ton of these for knives of different sizes. i prefer rawhide lace on the edge. I think it lasts longer and looks cooler. Any feedback would be appreciated. Jae

"You start the braid by taking the top strand and weave it through the other strands in an over one under one pattern then do that for all the strands until you must wrap the last strand around your core." Alan, Is this referring to what Bruce Grant calls the cowboy button knot in his book?

Appreciate ya'lls responses. To answer some of ya'lls questions, by round knife I mean head knife and I bought the hide from The Leather Factory. I recently bought a second one and have yet to run into any problems.

I was recently cutting some 13-15 oz. leather with my round knife. In some areas, the knife would not cut. My knife was very sharp, yet could not cut through the leather. Anybody ever encounter this and/or have some suggestions?
