Members Brad Johnson Posted May 29, 2012 Members Report Posted May 29, 2012 Greetings all, Those pictured here come from one of my more popular patterns. Both have Wickett&Craig 7/8oz tooling leather and both have been treated to Barry King stamping. Enjoy Quote Brad Johnson Proud member of KMG since 1991 http://bradjohnsonknives.blademakers.com/
Members Charliewz Posted May 29, 2012 Members Report Posted May 29, 2012 (edited) Love the color. I can't get that color no matter what I try. Very good looking sheaths, nice and smooth. I just noticed why ... no contrasting colors on the edges. I really like them this way! Charlie Edited May 29, 2012 by Charliewz Quote
Members Eaglestroker Posted May 29, 2012 Members Report Posted May 29, 2012 Excellent work! Might I ask what basket stamp that is? I love the longer look. Quote

Members Brad Johnson Posted June 2, 2012 Author Members Report Posted June 2, 2012 Yep you are right, I oil with a good quality neetsfoot oil and set in the sun to acheive an even color (reapply if necessary) and give everything a double coat of Febings Harness Dressing. The basket stamp is a medium Barry King but it looks longer because it is stamped at an angle of approx/30 degrees. Hope this helps Quote Brad Johnson Proud member of KMG since 1991 http://bradjohnsonknives.blademakers.com/
