Members ScoobyNewbie Posted February 9, 2019 Members Report Posted February 9, 2019 They are beautiful. But what warms my heart is they are for your girls. When my daughters got their first cars, I handed them each a 10” crowbar and told them “every well bred young lady needs one of these on her drivers side door. See? Heartwarming. Quote

It's frustrating to mess with a snap set up after gutting a deer with bloody hands. This way its just slips it back into the sheath and lightly push it down and its firmly held by the molded area.Works good and there is enough tension from the wet molded area to hold the knife while doing summer salts if thats your thing as it will not shake out of the sheath. The finger guard is what holds it in there. gottcha, understand how it fits now. Well thought out then so it is Quote Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members hawgrider Posted February 9, 2019 Author Members Report Posted February 9, 2019 (edited) Thanks folks. The comments are great so my work must not be too terrible. I can take criticism too so don't be to nice to me. And by the way that's only the first sheath of two. The next one coming soon will be just like it but left handed for my other daughter who is a southpaw. See y'all soon thanks for looking! Edited February 9, 2019 by hawgrider Error correction.

Thanks I try to improve with each venture. My stitching and edge work did get a little better. Hole placement when the thickness of the leather is deeper than my hole chisels is a challenge. The welt for the knife sheaths make it difficult to get holes placement perfect. I keep trying to come up with a method that narrows the risk of trashing the piece if I land a the holes in the wrong spot.
