Another Apocalyptic Survivor Sheath

[NoahL]

Hello everyone,

This is a sheath I made for member on another forum for a Michigan Trail knife he had made by John of JK Handmade Knives. The sheath is made of 7-9oz horsehide leather and hand stitched with hemp thread.

Thanks for looking!

Very unique, clean, original design. Pretty. You say it is made of horse hide. I've not done an intense search for horse leather, but have not seen it carried by any leather purveyors that I've seen. Where did you obtain this type of leather?

Sorry for the delayed response Jim--I never got an e-mail about your post! In any case, it was pretty tough for me to find. Siegel's carries it, and so does Zack White, but it's fairly expensive at around $6.25/lb, and it comes in ~2lb strips (they are "horse butt strips"). I now get it from a company called Milton Sokol in NY for a considerably better price--just call them at 718-441-2226 and ask for Pete Olsen, and he will hook you up

Thanks for the compliments, by the way!
