Yes... There is.

dougfergy. Feel free to copy it, make it yours! I'd like to see it when you're done. I used Brown antique stain on the stamped portion to try to make it pop and give it some depth. Vikefan

Here's my latest completed project, a pancake knife sheath for an Schrade LB7 lockback Hunting knife (similar to the Buck 110). Please take a looksy and feel free to critique it. Thank you, Vikefan

Awesome. Thank you for sharing. Vikefan

Awesome guitar strap. Looks GREAT! KUDOS!!! Vikefan

Looks very good. How did you get the rolled portion at the top of each sheath. Interesting. Vikefan

Very, very nice! I'd love to have one, but I carry a Costanza wallet, and that won't fit what I carry and need with me. Great work, very dignified! Vikefan

On the middle one I used a Craftool E294 and E294-04 tool to stamp the inside of that one, giving it some texture. I then dyed the center and back of it with Angelas Gold dye, and used Chocolate Brown on the outside edge on the front. Thank you for your suggestion.. I will do that in the future. Vikefan

Thank you Halitech.. I will try that! I have vinegar.

Awesome... I would be both happy and proud to wear that... Great Job! Vikefan

I finally completed all three knife sheaths for this knife and completed them all within one weeks time. It was a very challenging build as explained in Challenging Knife Build (part 1), that showed only one sheath completed. Hope you like and I am open to suggestions and advice concerning this build, my design, or anything related. Thank you, Vikefan

I really like it, it's a well thought out design and looks classy! Kudos! Vikefan

I have made about 7 leather roll up tool rolls... You could put grommets in them and hang them for tool access, or lay them on your bench if you have ample room. Vikefan

I noticed the Oak.. Oak is my favorite wood! I don't have a lathe, but they have one on base I can have access to. Thank you for the information. Oh, I just remembered. How thick of leather are you using on the seat portion of your camp chairs? Looks like Saddle type leather in thickness. Vikefan

I would like to make a suggestion. I noticed the metal belt clip on your sheath. I stopped making my sheaths with that belt clip, as I had an old Original Leatherman when I was working at a hospital, and I ended up loosing it 5-6 years ago, knife and all (no one was honest enough to turn it in). From that point on I made solid loops, so that the sheath can only slide on or off the belt and it is more secure. People are more likely to notice that, and it could save people from losing their items. Again, purely a suggestion. Vikefan

Is this a kit you can buy? I like that! Very nice job! Vikefan

The finish I used was Angeles Acrylic Finisher (SATIN). I gave it two coats. It has a good finish and it's not too shiny. Vikefan

Thank you for explaining them to me. That knife looks very cool! Awesome work!

Great design and I love your stamping pattern on the front. That's an ingenious strap you came up with, quick release I'd think. Why did you use two different thread colors, just curious. Great Job! Vikefan

He sure did, and when I saw it I told him, on his next builds, he might want to thin the antlers down to make it easier on me. Ultimately it's up to him. Thank you for your responses to my post, your words were encouraging and kind. I believe that they are rivets, not corby screws (I don't believe I know what those are). Vikefan

Here is my most recent project I just finished yesterday, and I have two more just like it to build. This is and has been the most challenging knife sheath I have ever had to make. I am making these for my Chiropractor, who saw the Russel Green River Knife blanks I put handles on and had made sheath for. He is a moose hunter and bought three knife blanks and decided to put horn/antler handles on his. This was his first build and the handles are quite thick which was the main part of my design challenge. Here's what I came up with to try to secure the knife into the sheath for transport in a pack.. The knife blade right now fits very snug in the sheath without the draw string thong I added to the front. Please take a look at the pictures and feel free to offer any advise you may have. The antler is at least an inch thick or more on each side of the blade, and it is rough and not even to boot. Thank you, Vikefan

Awesome job on both Guitar covers! I'm a huge Elvis fan too! Vikefan

My question is: Has anyone had any issues with the the more environmentally friendly tanning processes used today affecting the darkness of their vinegaroon reacting with their leather? Reason why I ask - see below. Yesterday I attempted to vinegaroon die a leather belt blank I had purchased from Tandy for a Dress Belt (Gift). I have not used, but had some old vinegaroon in the Garage in a seal container and still smelled of vinegar. Thank you, Vikefan

Good to know.. as I just contacted them today about the price of one. Maybe that one from Tandy isn't bad at all? Any thoughts about that? Thank you, Vikefan

That's an awesome rig, you are an artist! How long you been doing this? Vikefan
