Yes it's real. I bought scraps off a gentleman out of South Dakota who retired. Enough to make a couple holsters. Knife sheaths and wallets. On the back of some there's a tag on where it was made or ordered from. I'll double check when I get home
A couple of knife sheaths I made for an auction for the yearly skeet shoot fundraiser. Been working with shark, elephant, and snapping turtle. Small, not to time consuming, and people willing to buy the exotic leathers.
They are dyed then black n red. I used sheen to keep the natural leather look. Then did nothing on a couple stripes then used brown antique finish (I think it's what it's called). Damped a paper Towl then wiped the leather till I liked what I had.
Thanks
Thank you
thanks everyone. I got texts messages for 24 more orders. only one complained that 30 was too much. but he also complains how much dinner is every shift. I just told him that it's an expensive hobby and that the helmet tag would last a long time. and was made for a fire fighter by a fire fighter.
been making helmet tags for my fire dept. 11 fire fighters in my station. around 500 total in the dept. been selling at 30 a tag. Is that a good price or am I over charging.
