124 and 103 Sheath

[Makael]

Craig referred a friend to me needing a 124 and 103 sheath. He has a klinkhammer 124 and 103 knives and he wanted a dual sheath. Never done one like that so I said let's try one. I'm about 4 sheaths behind. This one took most of the afternoon.
Kodiak leather.



I went by a pawn shop on the way to the post office and came across a Backwoods Damascus knife. I don't know much about them but thought it was a goodlooking knife.

Great looking sheath Mike. Well done.

Nice Mike, with those two knives it must take up a lot of real estate on a hip.

Yes, the guy has 2 Klinkhammer knives and wants to keep them in the same sheath . Would be quite a sidekick with it on your belt.

Handsome sheath. I like paring those 2 models together. DM

Nice sheath. You could paddle a canoe if you had too!

Did you make the sheath for the backwoods? If you did it's awesome.....

I didn't make that sheath. It's real nice but pretty thin leather. It's has some sort of hard finish applied and is very stiff. Nice though. The detail in the stamps is nice. Must of been soaking wet.

Real nice dual sheath, never heard of anyone pairing those two models togeather but they seem like a great pair.

Btw I think the backwoods knife is made in Pakistan, but I suppose there's a chance it's not.
Looks decent enough though.

I did investigate Backwoods knives.
Bill Akers own Backwoods custom knives. I won't buy a Pakistan knife,
Most of his knives run 200 to 300 dollars. Seems like very good quality.

It definitely looks nicer than a typical Pakistani knife , but not having heard of them I figured there was a chance it could be one.
That's good that it is in fact a custom and not from Pakistan.

You can buy that coating from Tandy, it stiffens up leather and waterproofs it...

I just seen this post Mike...nice work!

thank you. I added a touch of bling with a buckle and some brads on the two knife sheath. Then the customer asked for a 119 sheath to put in the package as well.
