Members Retswerb Posted June 15, 2020 Members Report Posted June 15, 2020 Beautiful, @ZigZag! Stitching, color, design, all look great. Quote
Members Matt S Posted June 15, 2020 Members Report Posted June 15, 2020 That's a really nice set, great work! Are you making a belt to go with it? Who made the knife and marlin spike? How did you find the brass saddlers rivets? I've only ever used copper, which is fairly easy to dome. Quote
Members Spyros Posted June 16, 2020 Members Report Posted June 16, 2020 Visually it all comes together very nicely, well done! is that micarta on the knife handle? Or Kydex, I can't really tell, but I like it, very nice match with the leather. Quote
Members battlemunky Posted June 17, 2020 Members Report Posted June 17, 2020 Beautiful work. The only real question I have is about a drain hole for the knife side. I also have zero idea about sailing and imagine huge waves crashing over the deck and narrowly escaping boat capsizing waves every other minute or so, filling that sheath with seawater rather often. I'm likely wrong and it ain't an issue. :D Quote

Members chrisash Posted June 17, 2020 Members Report Posted June 17, 2020 Its a great looking sheath but With modern nylon /Polyester/ Braided ropes especially if under tension you need a serrated blade to quickly cut through them also the pliers need enclosing more or they will flick out and on a very cold day in a gale you really need heavy duty rubber handles on them Again your work is excellent but after 40 years at sea what looks the most beautiful item at the yacht club, may have failings at sea when life is going against you in a gale Quote Mi omputer is ot ood at speeling , it's not me

I’m no sailor either but if that’s what you have in mind I don’t think I want to sail with you! Quote
