I figured it was time to make sheaths for a couple of my hawks, getting ready for the hunting season. Tried to make them kinda old looking to go with my Black powder possibles. Note the wonky stitches on the one, that comes from less than good chisels tines bent and i didn't notice. Buy good chisels!!! BTW the background is my sons first endeavor at making buckskin, very proud of his effort it isn't an easy job.

I love the simplicity of the design and the carving.  How they (chisels) get bent is beyond me.  My first set was from Tandy and lasted about 2 months.  I ended up getting the Weaver chisels.  they are nice, but too short for my hands.  ended up making a handle out of wood dowel rod (1.25" diameter) that I can move from one chisel to the next.  Works out pretty good.  So far, they are holding up and its been several years.

thank you, i used a few different stohlman patterns and kind of merged them into one that would fit each sheath with the help of a lightboard. My chisels are very cheap Chinese made that were given to me as a gift. I have been trying to watch and straighten them as i use them but missed once lol. They are just junk soft metal.

I use Weaver chisels. Soft China ones do not last.
