I like that band on the sheath, kinda sets things off. Like the knife also.

Good looking stuff. Braiding and knot work is addicting( warning, try this at home)

Great thread and really good comments. For my personal knives I mostly pick the knife for a specific job, then try to get a sheath built that helps make that even better. When building a sheath for someone's blade you have to guess at what would help function, sometimes not a easy task...

Thanks JS & Hellgap. Chuck Ward did a very cool photo of the finished project but I"m not good enough on these confusers to do a link. Lin Rhea will most likely post it on some of the Knife forums.

I like it, the knife and sheath match well. Is that a antler burr on the front?

Thanks Cliff and Bruce. Looking forward to visiting your shop next week Bruce. I'll try to keep the questions down from last time. I only have 2096 so far :^)

Thanks Leatherman, Lin, Karl & Doug did on heck of a job on that blade. You know you got a holt of something when you grab it.

I'll check the catolog and get back to you.

Craig, I'll pass it along to Doug. He's been a good bud for awhile now, only one of the bladesmiths I've met in person. Thanks Denny and KT for the nice compliments. RS

Thanks Craig. Doug Campbell is coming down for a visit next monday. I'll ask him how you do that link thing for anyone who wants to see the real guys of this project do the big work. We might be a little pressed for time( we plan on touring hunting country and a visit with Bruce Bump inc.)

Thanks Paul, Mike and Mark, this auction for kids is a hi point every year for me. Brad, this is the best picture I have of the blade. Lin will have a pro job soon.

Thanks guys It's the green time of year Wade. Brad, I think I have a pic of the blade. I'll get it on tonight.

Time again for my highest paying leatherwork of the year. Don't get a dime but sure pays big time in good feelings. This year I was asked to be part of a group effort on a knife & sheath. Not being much of a bladesmith I got the nod for the leatherwork. This is for a annual auction that a...

Mr Bump coached me to use a salt shaker for the brownels stuff, and to do it twice. I've had very good results with it on O1 toolsteel.

I'd sure second what Ed & Dave have stated. Full time means a belt with lots of holes in it( mostly the smaller size) I can't tell you how many times I've jumped at chance's to catch up on the bills. For over 32 years I've pretty much build saddles & saddle trees full time, but for the last five...

Looks like it worked. Congrats, just be carefull, it's addicting.

Chef Heres a picture of the swivel knives I use the most, with a saddle rigging. I used the top knife to cut the scroll on the rigging. The bottom for the pistol holster and knife sheath. The top is a knife from the Leather factory (now Tandy) not sure it's avalible anymore. Bottom is a smoothy...

Thanks Denny, I don't have a clue how to do the link thing. Chef, your right about the barrel size. The older HTS knife had a pretty big barrel. It was easy to grip and spread the pressure out. In some ways it was more forgiving and the bigger blade easyer to control. I'll try to get a...

Thank you Denny. And your more than welcome on the cat pictures. That is my favorite lion picture of all that I've taken over the years. Thats what I call a picture tree, the mist above the river and colors are just great. You just can't get those cats to pose like that very often. If I can find...

What gave me the bug to try this was a old worn out belt. It was solid scroll work and still looked good worn out. Real good way to use scraps up before they go in the stove :^)
