Members SmilinJim Posted May 7, 2009 Members Report Posted May 7, 2009 Co-worker brought me the leather and a knife and said he wanted a sheath. Just simple no carving or tooling of any kind. Tan with an oxblood lace. Used a hidden pin to hold the tangless knife in place. The other is another cedar box. Bad photo of praying hands, from a Tandy craftaid. Not what I'll use again. Not saying I can do better but I can try. The boxes are doing well and they are from scrap. As a tip for the woodworkers. I used Fiebings Aussie Leather conditioner on the cedar boxes once they were sanded. Brought out the colors in the wood. Looks good up close. Keep on Smilin Jim Quote

Members Talfuchre Posted May 8, 2009 Members Report Posted May 8, 2009 Tangless knife? Makes no sense - if you have no tang - there is nothing to hold on to. Did you, by chance, mean guardless knife? Or Hidden tang? Me so confus-ed. TF Quote
Members SmilinJim Posted May 8, 2009 Author Members Report Posted May 8, 2009 Mean a guard. Sorry about that. See what happens when ya get old. Ya forget and can't type and talk or is it talk and type at the same time. Jim Quote
Members Talfuchre Posted May 8, 2009 Members Report Posted May 8, 2009 Jim, My advice is not to chew gum then... it may get ugly. That sheath is nice. It is simple and nice. Just as ordered! TF Quote
