C Craft, this is a question that always seems to have caused trouble to both those that carry knives and those that fashion the sheaths. One must try to remember that the knife will dictate the type of sheath that will best do the job desired. Quite often the user will desire something that...

The way the interior of the eyelets is not straight, I would think the eyelets were just a tad too long------------------

Robert, my son, you THINK I am sweet on Patti? I AM sweet on Patti---Live with it!--------------------POP

Where does the time go when you are having so much fun? Yes, it has been almost a year, Josh, my son, and it is time for you to slide into my shop again! Don't forget to pick up a couple cold ones as you pass the frig. Pull up a chair and lets talk shop, shoot the bull, and pass info back...

Today, the 16th of April completes my 89th year on this planet. Over 65 years of that time has been occupied by my attempts to do memorable leather work. That I might have succeeded is debatable, I gave it my best shot. In that period of time I have had the privelege of knowing some of the...

Outrider and Chuck tell it the way it is. I use an Artisan 3000 for sheath and holster work and it does all that I can require of any piece of equipment. ---Sandy---

Fascinating display of letters and numbers! Could you let us know who are the manufacturers or makers of those knives?

Way to go, Josh, my friend-----Sandy

Nice job, Mark

Steve, I hope that your outlay on the splitter was minimal as I am sure that its resurrection will not be.. The old caveat emptor----let the buyer beware, is evident here. Hope for the best but do not count on it!!! ---Sandy---

I believe that I have requested this info before---? Could you give me a definition of the descriptive "Level II retention" ? That we are privileged to see every sheath that you make, possibly you could tell us what they fit rather than a random bunch of letters and numbers----For...

Our worst efforts are our rewards for rushing through a project. Drying time is one of the things we should concentrate on and avoid using any type of artificial heat to accomplish that purpose. A very good subsitute would be an ordinary fan at room temperature. It is not as rapid but damages...

You did a fine job, Travis, my friend. And , as you know, anything done by Paul is as good as it's going to get! ---Sandy---

Ah ! Sheath design ! This is something that does create quite a problem and probably will never be solved to everyone's satisfaction. There are several factors involved in the creation of any sheath that must be known prior to constructon. The first is the configuration of the knife...

There are multiple reasons why dye is rejected as though it were applied over a resist. Of course, glues and cements create their share. Bodily fluids such as spit, blood, sweat, and others---will create a resist unless washed off thoroughly. Oxalic acid will remove dirt smudges...

I, as Paul, have had both the Boss and the Artisan 3000--and was pleased with the first and ecstatic with the second!! The Artisan is now offering the 3200 model which has a throat several inches greater than the 3000 and may be a better buy if the price differential is not too great. Both the...

Larry, you might try this--he specializes in skulls!!! www.bigpapaleather.com ---Sandy---

Terry, dear friend----You have a pretty darn good idea of the high regard I hold both you and your work. This piece does not diminish that admiration. You have a lot of courage to go into white, it scares the bejazus out of me!!! --Sandy

Terry, my friend, I have a question for you----------------------When do you find time to eat and sleep?

This lovely man I called my son as he filled that slot for me. Linda I referred to as my daughter and my sincere condolences are tendered to her at this time of grief. ---Sandy
