winn2011 Report post Posted February 21, 2018 (edited) My name is Winn and I have been making knives and sheaths for about 6 years as a hobby and my own personal form of therapy/release, but have just recently begun really monitoring the forums. I got started by taking the Gil Hibben knife making class and then watching the Chris Crawford DVD's, especially those with Paul Long. I hope to post more here and learn more as I go along. This is a sheath I made over the weekend for a friend's Brothers of Bushcraft knife. Most of my piddling will have Paul's influence (meant as a compliment). I look forward to being part of the community. Edited February 21, 2018 by winn2011 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

winn2011 Report post Posted February 21, 2018 @garypl it’s 6/7 W&C Brown skirting, with pigskin lining for no reason other than I had it available and it gave a nice contrast. Barry King tools. Stitched on a Cobra Class 4 with 207 natural thread. One light coat of beats foot, tan-kote and finally some 50/50 neat laq for the finish. The guard was too short for a strap that came down onto the face, so I did a wrap-around stitched to the belt loop. Didn’t have any snaps so I used this post. Friend is a regular outdoorsman and said it will see plenty of hard use. Looking forward to getting feedback from him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
