Or BOTH!!!

This is an order that's just getting done, thought with all the recent threads everyone would like to have a look see over here. You really can have it both ways.

Sorry, guys, they aren't thick. Big blade is 1/8 inch L6 and smaller one is 3/32 15N20, both convex ground.

The bowie pattern chopper is 13 7/8 inches OAL with a 9 inch blade.

The leuku pattern bushcrafter is 9 1/8 OAL with a 5 5/8 blade.

Handles are "orange camo"- flame patterned osage orange with brass fittings.

Oh, here- a picture I took while testing. I really to like throwing anything big enough to throw. Dunno how good a test it is, but it's not the only test I do, and it's fun :D

Sheaths follow.

The sehath system gave me a bit of pause. Koyote Girl just shrugged and told me to figure it out, then fixed everything I said wrong.

Here's the piggy back:

I'm doing this to all the sheaths with strapping and belt hangers now, it's a nice way to do specific belt width adjustments and raise or lower the carry height.

On this one the BC sheath is going to be worn seperately for horizontal carry, but the vertical carry belt hanger is the best way to do the piggyback rig, so we just did it that way. Notice how it's tied on with artificial sinew (and the knot is melted) for the piggyback. I don't trust snaps. not for these uses, so I just always use good knots.

Takes a few minutes to cut out and replace, but the security is worth it, and we all carry good strong thread sized cordage, right?

Now off to the mail with it and see how the owner likes it. It sure is a manly feeling rig on the belt all together.
 
Those look AWESOME!, but where is the little blade? lol, there's still room to piggyback a 3 incher, and make a triple decker!!!:D
 
I gotta pretty good feeling the lucky new owner will freaking love it:eek:

Oh wait thats me:D Amazing job bro. Many thanks to you and Koyote girl:thumbup: Now get it over here as fast as you can:D:)
 
Koyote, Those look REAL NICE! A pair I could be very happy with, I do believe. Bet they cut like lasers.:thumbup::thumbup:
 
Hey tony, there is a sticky up at the top called pay it forward......;)

You should pay this one forward to me;)

Nice score bro:D

Heyyy...that's 'Monkeybutt' :D. I picked the name 'cause I always thought it was kind of funny being 'Online'. Maybe I need to change to something more dignified? Ok, 'Mr. Monkeybutt'. Hey, Barber, Tonym and others w/ Koyote craft, are we not part of the 'Pack'? I best check w/ Christof. Er, Christof?
