  1. No, when I seen these used before it was set with sample leather peices as a gauge.
  2. Same, just did not know which place it belonged. Only have one for sale
  3. I have a NEW old Stock No. 86 for sale. It has never been mounted or used. It came from a Hardware store that closed in the 60`s and sat on the shelf in the building untill I bought it. I thought I would use it more but never have so here is a chance to get a new machine for much less then new cost. Comes with original vintage box as well $500 Cash and trades concidered.
  4. I have a new old stock Osbourne splitter for sale. I bought it thinking I would be using it more and havent. It is brand new, never been mounted, never seen leather and comes in the original box with original blade which is VERY sharp. It sat in a hardware that was closed in the 60s along with their other stock. This is literally brand new. Asking 500$ and would consider some trading with it. Thanks for looking Romey
  5. Thanks Blake, Thats what I thought too but thought Id ask someone else before I opened my mouth about it.
  6. Anyone know the brand of saddle with this mark on it?
  7. (Myself,High country knives and Chuck Burrows,Wild Rose trading company collaboration) Blade is 8inch, W1 steel with false edge on spine with Chucks hand carved file work. The Handle is Hand carved Rawhide wrapped Elk crown and Brass bolster with a domed silver eagle coin as a end cap inset into the crown. Sheath is rawhide over bark tan with a brain tan cuff with historically correct iron tacks. The partially beaded sheath has a heat hardened bark tan leather liner with a deer rawhide cover and braintan buckskin cuff making for a very tough sheath designed for hard use that has the flavor of the Old West. Other decoration consists of iron tacks in two sizes and a criss cross alum tawed sheepskin wrap on the cuff. The whole package is done in a 1850`s style SW Texas frontier style. This is a tough user piece from chopping kindling to fine delicate skinning and a very nice balance as a fighter and is available for sale now. This is the first collaboration between Chuck and myself - with more to come. Let us know what you think
  8. I meant nothing special on the tiger stripe, just dye. Didnt want to confuse.
  9. Thanks. The Zebra was supplied by the customer who borrowed it from a Zebra Their taxidermist had some forelegs left from doing a rug for my customer. Only the forelegs would have worked for my use so it worked out. Zebra has a very interesting hide,real tough yet supple. That could be do to the high quality of their taxidermist though.
  10. Some players prefer the suede so ones set on the shoulder it doesnt slip. Bass players tend to want a wider strap that doesnt slip more so then rhythm or lead players.Infact I often need to move the guiatr around some when I play so I can hit Barre chorde at different areas of attack so a smooth liner for me is my preference.It all comes down to the players preference. Whats more important to me is the attachment to the guitar, some straps are simply built wrong and pop off.
  11. I seen holsters by "professionals" before that arent as well done. Kudos
  12. Thought Id share this one. Did this one for a friend who happens to be an African PH in Tanzania. Do to the Cite treaty laws I wasnt confident that the Zebra inlay sheath would be simple to fly in and out of the country so I made him a working sheath to go along with it. I was going to an 1900`s safari look as his Double rifle is an English rifle from that time period which he still uses as a Professional Hunter. Blade:Forged W2 high carbon steel Handle: AAA Grade Ambonya Burl Fittings:Stacked Nickle Silver Sheaths: Hand sewn Inlayed Zebra Hide Due to cites treaty I was afraid of flying in and out of country with the Zebra hide sheath so I made a Tiger striped working sheath I threw in. Both are High ride carry pouch style. I was going to a 1900`s turn of the century safari antique sort of look with the inlaid Zebra and still be very functional..
  13. A very very clean work area and making sure my hands arent dirty. Keeping nice white stitching is a struggle
  14. Purchase Chuck Burrows Sheath making video. All is explained in great detail.
  15. I actually have a couple boards of strops. Epoxied to 2x2 on all 4 sides is different leather thicknesses and harnesses as well as different compounds. The softer the leather the more its going to roll the edge which is fine for a convexed edge on a head knife. Some is vegtan, some is harness and some is thin split. The idea is certain hardness of leather along with the correct compound grit for certain secondary edges allows you to sharpen knives to edgers.
