you sure were those are awesome!!

lol you can but its a whole lotta ugly. thank you I appreciate that.

thank you, i agree and so do my customers lol most of my sales are for simple looks but high quality work.

thanks!

thanks it does even out a bit in a few days. thank you!

Just finished this for a fellow. He brought over an old Indian river knife kit blade he had laying around for years. it cleaned up real nice. He just wanted simple leather so i made this also. For those wondering the wider snap loop has a function it is because the knife is handle heavy so if i were to put a standard loop at the bottom of the handle the sheath would tend to tilt. raising and widening the loop puts the balance point higher solving the problem. Sheath 9 oz with canyon tan, water proofed with mink oil and ready for the hunt.

I made a few of these for some folks and tested them a bit, my thoughts are that it is a very good blade design and makes for a really nice push knife. With a handle it is still Small and comfortable to use. It would rock with thinner leathers especially.

that looks great! all you need to add are some knife cuts around the seeder.

beautiful case and a fine rifle also. I'm not smirking i have three air rifles and one air pistol. None as nice as yours however.

of course head shape and axe function also affects design of the sheath. These are made to carry on a belt for example.

dog gone you i just woke up now i am craving a nice chop with a couple fried eggs on top lol, those look yummy indeed!! Awesome grill!! We are heading out for some bird hunting this morning.

wow that's really cool! careful you may be making a whole set before long lol.

so do i , trouble with adding sticky stuff is a sling isnt just for carrying the weapon, if you actually use your sling as it should be to shoot with your going to have problems.

i use regular good quality artists grade acrylics.

a lot of folks put a thumb hole through or a loop on the inside to hang their thumb in so the sling wont slip around.

lol me too sad thing dad never met him he did all his work at a studio somewhere never set foot out here during the filming. OH yea love Star trek, We still watch it some channels run episodes back to back. Loved Gilligan too, Gilligan had it made man what was he thinking all those years lol. A Keeper pic of your mom! That will make a fine memory lol. I'll bet she enjoyed every minute of it.

your stitching makes it look much better!! Don't rush slow down and enjoy the process of learning and creating. A welt in a sheath is a strip of leather put between the outer two pieces that protects the stitching from being cut by the blade. Usually about a 1/4" to 3/8" wide. running the length of the blade. you glue it between the two outer pieces along the edge then sew through it

Ditto your tooling is excellent!!!

love it!!

oh man that sucks But you caught it before it ruined anything else i hope, still more work and replacing that oil wont be cheap any more. Very cool about the program we don't have it over here but i sounds like a neat program, i would watch it. My dad was in a show once, "In Search Of" with Leonard Nimoy as the host. It was about Butch Cassidy who frequented the little community my family settled in. I have a copy, its great to see him in it but its hard at the same time he passed in 89. We got our first snow in the high country this week, leaves will be falling soon. We are busy as bees getting ready its canning season and hunting/butchering season, all to get ready for a long cold winter lol. I got to till in the garden plot too, we left it fallow this year but next year it will be going strong, my bunnies will fertilize the heck out things lol, i must have half a ton of pellets.

my two cents, its a completely functional item as it is I don't believe a rivet will do any harm to a properly tempered blade but they don't look that good IMO. If you want to make it prettier lose the rivets add the welt and sew it nice and straight, sand or cut the edges nice and straight to match your sewing then burnish and finish.

that is really nice !!did you make the buckle too?

thanks man! they are in Alaska now.

lol lil scrappy is perfect ! thanks!
