Members Peter Darby Posted December 20, 2016 Members Report Posted December 20, 2016 I bought this knife in Singapore back in 81 or so. It is a puma bowie but larger than the one imported to the US. This is why I got into leatherworking. Good knives with lousy sheaths means you need to make them yourself. This is a friction fit with a 20 degree slant - blade up- for a left handed draw from the right side. The coin is an 1892 silver dollar. I was going to use some African antelope fur for the insert but didn't like it when it came time so I stippled the insert. I skived the leather under the coin and above the coin to keep it from sticking up to far. Quote
bikermutt07 Posted December 20, 2016 Report Posted December 20, 2016 Good job. Quote I'm not paying 80 bucks for a belt!!! It's a strip of leather. How hard could it be? 4 years and 3 grand later.... I have a belt I can finally live with. Stitching is like gravy, it's only great if you make it every day. From Texas but in Bossier City, Louisiana.
