VERY nice Mike!

In most cases these days I believe they are simply glued in place. You want to use a fairly thin gauge, anywhere from .025 to .040. Brass and nickle silver are the most commonly used, but I wave seen mild steel, and even damascus used. If you will go to the tutorials section on the second...

those are all fantastic Jon! I especially like the MOD Bowie:D

I use this method sometimes as well, and one way to insure there is NO chance of the threaded rod coming loose is to lightly weld it in with a wire welder then grind the welds flush. You want to turn the setting on your welder down pretty low so you don't burn completely through the tang or the rod.

Yep, I think that will be a winner, just as this one is!

Superb Terry, and welcome to the pound!

Dad blame it Josh, is there any darn thing that you can't do and do well!!All kidding aside, this one is fantastic, as is most anything you try your hand at. Great job!!

Another fantastic package my Brother!!Ya'll both done good!

Thanks Stuart. I tried this once before a few years ago with less than favorable results. That time as the rawhide dried the edges around the inlay raised up.This time the tacks prevented that from happening.If tacks are'nt going to be used I would suggest sewing the inlay around the edges, or...

Thanks Guys!

Very impressive first effort Mike, you done good!If you choose to make a few more of this style,putting the flesh side of the deer rawhide to the outside will give you more texture, variation in color, and a more rustic look to the overall appearance of the sheath.

I made this one for a new customer that likes his stuff a little" over the top", so I came up with this. Veg-tan core inlaid with rattlesnake on the front and the beltloop, brass tacks and spots, LOTS of fringe, coyote claws, antler crown concho, tin cones, horsehair, and antique trade beads.

Very nice!

Very nice work Bob!

Thanks everyone! Wade, your makin' me blush:oIt was a pleasure doing these for you, and I'm glad getting home and seeing these was a bright spot in what has been a sucky last couple of weeks for you. I look forward to doing more in the future.

Thanks everyne. Wade I hope you like them in person!Bruce, your close. It's a black walnut. I have a tree in my backyard and the squirrels eat them and leave them all over the yard, so I found a use for them!

A few weeks ago Wade contacted me to see if I was interested in sheathing a few knives for him. I told him I would, and here are the first two efforts.

Good on ya John! A couple of months ago I delivered a 25 knife order to the Forrestry Service. These knives were presented to 25 firefighters in Mississippi that went above and beyond the call of duty. The contract required that the Forrestry Service logo be somewhere, and the only place was...

I have these two laying on my bench now, and they are even nicer in person. They are very well made and feel great in the hand. Now I'm gonna see if I can kick'em up a notch!
