Buckles and blades

[Horsewright]

Outfit we made for a buddy. He provided the buckle we made the belt, knife and sheath.

Water Buffalo leather work for Water Buffalo Horn handled knives. Customer provided the leather buckle and I provided the brass one.

Matched set. Knife by Steinglass. This set made for a fellow BF guy. He provided the buckle.

Thanks porch. Cool knife. I like it.


Dave, beautiful leather work. The tooling is first class!

 

[Horsewright]

Thank you sir. My wife does all the flower carving. I do the rest.

Thanks porch. Cool knife. I like it.

Thanks.
It would be hard to get more blade into less handle, which is one of the things I like about it.

Great buckles boys. Love the turquoise (mom has a green piece set in a ring, green!). Always liked buckles,never liked the way they dug into my gut though. Some would say less gut more buckle , but the last one I got was a "Steve Miller Band" at the state fair in the late 70's early 80's.
Thanks , Neal
Ps Tah-nice case copperhead!
Scrd Porch- who made the bird's eye pivot sailing knife, under the ship buckle?

Buck 315, maybe actually made by Camillus.

Yah, looks nothing like my model with the sawn delrin covers. Really like your model, especially those pivots.
Thanks, Neal

Thanks Neal. Here's a little closer look in case you're interested.

I am, and that is beautiful. God just the ebony alone is great, but the whole composition makes a perfect example(to me) of a copperhead. Pocket time is probably minimal, but I imagine you don't notice it at all. What type of steel is it?
Thanks, Neal
Ps age,age would be good to know

 

[TAH]

Pocket time is minimal. When I do carry, I use the suede lining pouch as shown in the photo. The blade is stainless - 420HC from what I've been told. 2008 limited edition of 500. It's my only Case knife.

Seems like you did okay.

Well, I'm fuzzy on when it's bad to raise a necro thread, and when it's bad to start a new thread on an old topic, but I got a couple of buckles the other day from a dead guy who liked them as much as I do. No particular aptness to the CS knives.

Pretty fuzzy on my photography focus, as usual, too. This is the best of four or so.
The round one may represent looking up in a coniferous forest, or it may be abstract. It's unusual in being made by Colonial Leather, which I never heard of, in Kalamazoo, MI, which I have heard of.
