You've got a real rustic style going there. look forward to more of your projects.

call him and ask who buys from him in your area and then call them and see if you can pick up a few.

no metal to metal

here is another I made fro the same blade and owner..

Good idea thanks. my challenge with the home made chucked tools is getting the shaft centred and aligned so the piece doesn't wobble. I dont have a good wood working tool set up just light hand tools and some light bench tools... I dream of a small lathe.....

Hi oldbar. Yes it is. Please email me at maker@plinkercases.ca to discuss further if you like.

it as stood the test of time. I love old worn leather pieces. and I am a buck 110 fan. I need to give mine a sharpening and polish this summer. the quick response need for the blade makes sense in your job. glad it has helped save lives and thanks for doing that job.

ok thanks.

I find in most of my projects that 30 degrees (right or left depending) is what I prefer.45 just looks odd and less looks erroneously flat... just my eye anyhow.

Simple and clean. I like it. How about a picture of its axe?

Yup answered the questions thanks. To each there own but I wouldn't carry this way personally. My sheaths are more about protecting me or the owner than the knife and I don't carry for self defence so a quick draw to full open blade isn't a requirement for me.

Vaelloc, If I read the pic correct the knife is sitting in the sheath partially open with the blade tip exposed and when you draw it should open almost fully? not sure how you resheat the knife to get it into this condition.....unless the top hardware is a snap but looks like a rivet... also seems the sheath is on the belt horizontally... blade tip down? Is that correct?

Ok I assumed there was a reason that this obvious route wasn't working for you. Good luck. Its a good pack to own.

Perhaps you have tried it but a Google image search for "Buck 110 custom leather sheath" results in a wide selection of the good, the bad and they ugly.

Nice blade and nice sheath. I like the look of the pebble (or bubble some say) tooling and have used it places but not the main pattern as you did. worked well I think .

as I mentioned I had intended to put a strap that came around the frog and captured the post... that is what that peace is... but the client decided against it so it is in the scarp bin... that's where it went off to! Dwight I get you cost analysis... I had always wanted to colt SAA which I finally did as a mid life gift but then had to get another and a lever gun and a shot gun and start shooting CAS/SASS and then of course a 1911 for WBAS... and boots and hat and period clothes... and a safe and ammo and and and.... but the leather I got for free!!!!...almost. thanks again for to support for this built especially from you guys who I am hoping to learn more from. If anyone could invent a day stretcher and energy booster so I could get some alert bench time that would be great!!! there is so much I would like to build fro me and have to fro others but just cant get to the bench between family work church etc.... and a little shootin.....

Thank you Boriqua that means a lot coming from you. Dwight the knife was the clients and its a Cold Steel Natchez Lorado Bowie knife. They are on amazon.com it seems and not as expensive as I thought they would be.

I made one the way you describe... the frog attached to the belt and the sheath fits snuggly in and is retained by the stud. I was considering a strap to lock in the stud but the client didn't want that. I have seen it that was as well. he was happy so I was happy with it.

very nice. love the pattern and tooling work on the portfolio.

I love the weight and degree of detail boning.. something about it is just right. Really nice work. Looks like from the back shots that you do as I do and run a loop stick through both slots. Some times I also run a thick weight 1.5 in strap through and then pull it around a large been bag I made to help preform to the waist curve.

I have gone back and poked around the videos I looked a tin the past and some new ones and nothing I found worth adding other than more Adams ones and he still is my favourite presenter between his voice and is general personality and demeanour. If I find one I will link it. Seems to lots of the same out there and even ones that look promising turn out to have bad/annoying/frustrating (i.e. not looking at what you want to see...) camera work or the presenters go on about all kinds of things rather than specifics of what they are doing. I have challenged myself with finding one fresh one though....

Al Stohlman "Art of Hand Sewing Leather" page 56, 57, 58 - sewing rounds read with Al Stohlman "Art of Making Leather Cases - Vol 2 - page 21 - handle no 17 Its how I make my rounded throatlatch and works fine. Hope this helps and sorry I cant seem to get the pages such that I can attached them. If you want you can email me - or get the book electronically from Tandy as they are great resources.

Nice looking holster design and that stitching awl spool rig is clever. Does the "handle" do more than hold a spool like open or close the clam shell? The clam arms look old like from a full horse but rejigged onto a pony?
