sheathmaker Report post Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Here's a sheath I did for one of my African Safari freinds (he's the safari guy, not me). This one is Wickett and Craig pre dyed black 8 oz. skirting with a cape buffalo hide linay. He took the Buffalo himself. Mighty thick leather but I was able to coax it through my splitter. I'll be back in a minute and post up another picture of a similar sheath for the same guy. Paul Edited February 21, 2008 by sheathmaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tazzmann Report post Posted February 21, 2008 Beautiful sheath! I love the look of that buffalo. Is that it's original color as well? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheathmaker Report post Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) The color is a rich cinnamon brown and I think that color was part of the tanning process, but yes it's the color I received to do the work. Paul Edited February 21, 2008 by sheathmaker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TracyMoss Report post Posted February 28, 2008 what kind of dot is that? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheathmaker Report post Posted February 28, 2008 what kind of dot is that? Tracy, if you are talking about the stud on the front of the sheath, it is a custom made, hand turned and then the design on top accomplished with a CNC machine, then gun blued and high spots polished bright. It took the place of a common Sam Browne stud from Tandy/LF. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TracyMoss Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Did you make it, or someone else? I really like it. I try to use as much custom hardware as I can on my items. If I support those guys, maybe in turn they will support me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCOUTER Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Awesome! What a different look from different lighting! Nice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sheathmaker Report post Posted February 28, 2008 Awesome! What a different look from different lighting! Nice! No Scouter, those are actually two different sheaths and different knives. They are for the same guy though. Tracy, the studs were supplied by the owner of the knife so I don't know who exactly made them. Paul Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
