Rossr Posted February 19, 2022 Report Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) I had the pleasure of making some high end sheaths for some Randall made knives, thought I would share the results, All are made with Wickett and Craig skirting, deer skin lined. One has an I lay the others some basic tooling. As always open to thoughts on how to improve. Hope everyone is making leather stuff and enjoying the journey Ross Edited February 19, 2022 by Rossr Quote

Rossr Posted February 19, 2022 Author Report Posted February 19, 2022 OK folks, I tried uploading the pics, but keeps failing, with a exclamation point in a triangle and a -200 message? Never had that before. Any help? 1 minute ago, Hags said: Pics are always welcome. I agree if I can figure out why the upload isn't working Quote

CFM tsunkasapa Posted February 19, 2022 CFM Report Posted February 19, 2022 Are the pics too big? If so, edit them in paint; RESIZE Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?

CFM tsunkasapa Posted February 19, 2022 CFM Report Posted February 19, 2022 My phone always takes BIG pics. I end up sending to my computer and going from there. Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members AzShooter Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 I have to do like RossR. Send them to your pc and then resize them. I normally size my pics for posting to 6 X 4 inches at 72 cpl That give me a pic under 1K and will work with every forum I've used. Here's an example. Quote
CFM tsunkasapa Posted February 19, 2022 CFM Report Posted February 19, 2022 PRESTO! Good looking sheaths! Quote Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
Members JohnInAZ Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 Those definitely deserve a big picture! Nice work. Quote

Members AzShooter Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 Awesome. Great work on the leather and your photography. I'm very impressed. Quote

alpha2 Posted February 19, 2022 Report Posted February 19, 2022 Beautiful! What is the inlay? Quote So much leather...so little time.

I believe it to be some form of snake skin but I'm not sure. It came from a shop buyout years ago and was in with a few other snake skins. Oddly there's a stamp on the back that I can kinda read I think says made in Switzerland. Anyway I thought it looked nice so I went with it. Thanks for the kind words folks.

Members battlemunky Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) Hard to do justice on a Randall knife but you did. I don't know if I have a favorite though, they are all three beautiful and fitting for their respective knife. Edited February 19, 2022 by battlemunky Quote

Scales that small and that "tight", I would have guessed some type of lizard (which I consider a PLUS, it doesn't "flake" like most snake does). Quote "Observation is 9/10 of the law."

Members Bert03241 Posted February 19, 2022 Members Report Posted February 19, 2022 Great work and nice Knives too Quote

I would agree but the shape was just like the other snake skins...so it's a mystery.... Thanks for the compliments 7 hours ago, battlemunky said: Hard to do justice on a Randall knife but you did.

The customer was very happy as well and other than the color black for the one I was told make something nice. Quote
