  1. I've only had it for a month or so but so far I really like it. Holds an edge well and is quite manageable for a larger knife.
  2. Made this one up for my Knives of Alaska bush camp to match my buck 110 sheath. Didn't realize until after I took the pictures the knife wasn't seated all the way in the sheath. Waiting on a new fire steel to fit in the loop as well.
  3. Thanks for all the compliments! There is a backing on the ostrich of about 2oz veg tan. The ostrich is skived down pretty thin to get all the stringy flesh off so I figured I better give it a little more substance. I've been wearing it everyday for a couple weeks now and it is still looking and fitting great. Retention is perfect, I was worried it would loosen up with the inlay but so far so good.
  4. This is one of the first ones I did in this style but the back is similar to the inlaid one as well. Just bit more "clean" looking in the newer version.
  5. Finally got around to making a sheath for my own buck 110. Ostrich inlay, 1mm tiger thread.
  6. Those are beautiful. Great job!
  7. Thank you, I believe those are some real old #4 imperial shells that I have kicking around, I would give a best guess they are 30-40 years old!
  8. Thanks for video reply, that's awesome! I'll have to give it a try. Great work once again.
  9. Very nice work! Definitely worth more the $65 in my opinion. Love seeing your projects as they are always very well done. One question, how do you do the molding over the stamping without smooshing out the pattern? Great job!
  10. Just finished up this for a fellow, the logo is from his ranch. And a sheath I donated for a fund raiser raffle, another fellow donated the knife.
  11. Missing pictures: Leathermen sheath Bible cover
  12. A few of my Christmas gifts this year. Don't judge the printing here, kids wanted to help out for their uncle. Lol Leathermen sheath Bible cover Hope you enjoy.
  13. Thank everyone, really appreciate the comments!
  14. Thanks everyone, appreciate the comments. This leather was 6/7 oz which is a little thicker than I usually use but I had it on hand. I use warm water to soak the leather until the bubbling stops, I then mold the sheath around the item. Once I get a general shape in place I'll put it in the oven at as low heat as it will go for 5-10 minute intervals while I continue to "crisp up" the mold. Once the leather edges start to dry out I compete any final molding needed and then let it air dry for 24 hours or until completely dry. I then dye, glue, sew and finish with a beeswax sealer to add shine and waterproof. Not sure if that is proper or correct but it's how I do it. I'm still learning as I go to make improvements in my technique and the final product.
  15. Just finished this for my nephew.
  16. Just finished up my 4th leather project. An iPhone holster for my dad. The ostrich leg scales and quill leather top are from our own birds that we used to raise in our farm. Still a lot to learn in this endeavour but I'm lovin every minute!
  17. Thank you sir, I was just trying my stamps out for the first time and it seemed to turn out and look fine. Very much learning as I go but am enjoying every minute of it.
  18. Thanks! Really starting to enjoy the satisfaction of making these projects. Still learning as I go and trying to improve on things.
