Dave Richardson Report post Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) Trying a new item, missed a couple stamps with the tri weave, guess you have the Jim Beam AFTER stamping not during ! Anyway Im happy with the pattern and assembly. Originally went with a sam brown button but it was to hard to snap so switched to a line 24 snap. Made with 8oz english bridle and cut lace dipped in neatsfoot oil and a 8 oz welt. Thanks for looking and comments always welcome Edited September 10, 2017 by Dave Richardson Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alpha2 Report post Posted September 10, 2017 No problem! I just had a Manhattan with Jack Daniels, it looks great to me! I really like the contrast of the sheath to the lacing. Very dramatic. A co-worker has taken up ax/hatchet collecting, and I'm dying to make him a sheath or two, but his son is doing the amazing sharpening for him, and also the sheaths. Bummed.

Dwight Report post Posted September 11, 2017 Thanks, Dave, . . . it's close, . . . but the Shawnee pattern had a slightly wider blade, . . . that's the one I'm hoping to find. One was on Ebay a few months back, . . . and I got outbid on it. May God bless, Dwight Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought that the Indians used whatever they could get hold of. Looks like I'm about to learn something new..... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dwight Report post Posted September 12, 2017 Honestly, . . . I do not know, . . . but when I saw that particular one on Ebay, . . . and it being called a Shawnee pattern, . . . I just kind of linked in with it, . . . I assumed, . . . as is done with most things, . . . a person will develop a pattern of things he likes to do, . . . and how he likes to do it, . . . I figured it was probably that way even with the Indians, . . . perhaps they found a blacksmith who would make theirs a certain way, . . . as his trademark, . . . and is became associated with them. Anyway, . . . I liked the looks of it. I'ts really not a lot different from yours, . . . the blade is probably only an inch or so wider, . . . but I like that pattern.
