Members Viking Posted September 4, 2011 Members Report Posted September 4, 2011 Story behind the knife: I bought this back when I was 16 near Mesa Verde on a camping trip from a Native American. - I recently 'found' it in my parents basement while cleaning out some old things. It had a crappy vinyl & cardboard sheath so I made a new one. I am probably going to pull the blade and heat-treat it, and re-epoxy it back in the handle. I need to work on my edge burnishing skills, and all my holsters and sheaths are hand-sewn as I don't own a stitching machine. Everything I have learned over the past few years has been mostly gleaned off this site. Some of the work here is truly professional compared to my modest hobby work. :D C&C welcome - thanks for looking! Quote
Members jimmybaby Posted October 30, 2011 Members Report Posted October 30, 2011 You have a knife with a very individual design and it deserves a special sheath. Think about a single-seam Mexican single loop design.Story behind the knife: I bought this back when I was 16 near Mesa Verde on a camping trip from a Native American. - I recently 'found' it in my parents basement while cleaning out some old things.
