Rossr Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rossr Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tsunkasapa Report post Posted February 19, 2022 Are the pics too big? If so, edit them in paint; RESIZE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just upgraded to a new phone and I'm posting from the phone so not sure how to resize from the phone hmmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tsunkasapa Report post Posted February 19, 2022 My phone always takes BIG pics. I end up sending to my computer and going from there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AzShooter Report post 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.

alpha2 Report post Posted February 19, 2022 Beautiful! What is the inlay? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rossr Report post Posted February 19, 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, alpha2 said: Beautiful! What is the inlay? That's a good question. 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. Ross Edited February 19, 2022 by Rossr Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
battlemunky Report post 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.

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).

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
