Don't hate me because my kit is beautiful... ;)

I finished the leather for the duo of knives that Walt sent me. These are my first real attempts at tooling and dying different colors.

Here is the quad carry - smaller companion:

Showing off Walt's Steel:

OH - and his matching Firesteel:

Now I just need to get the courage up to sell them - MAN - I don't need any more knives!

Your leatherwork's grown in leaps and bounds over the past couple months, TF. Those are awesome. Nice knives too, Walt.

 

[TheGame]

Great knives, TF. Love the handles on them... oh wait, this is about the sheaths? Yea, those are great as well

 

[WalterDavis]

Dag-nabbit, TF! I'm going to have to make myself a knife just so I can send it to you for pants That leather came out incredible:thumbup:

 

[KuRUpTD]

Very nice work TF :thumbup:

 

[tonym]

Just beautiful :thumbup:

 

[hushnel]

Nice, well balanced with the blades, clean lines and exceptionally well executed. You’re a natural.

Thanks - I am going to make a removable firesteel holder for the smaller sheath - I need to figure it out and make it matching - but I will post a pic when done.

That horizontal carry sheath is the exact sheath, minus the tooling that I want for my RC3. I told you I was holding off sending the other knife to you so I can get a sheath made for my new RAT. It is in the mail on its way to me now!

Nice work you talfuchre

That is some lovely work right there. :thumbup: I really like the smaller rig.

I would like to go back in time and give the cow that made that leather an extra bucket of grain, because that is simply some beautiful work.

Yes, tremendous work! :thumbup:
Congrats.

I wonder how using dyed thread (to either match the inlay or sheath color) would look on these?

Question, not criticism:
What's with the popularity of sheaths with the flat section with a rivet in the corner?

I think it's so you can add a tie-down thong if you want to. Or hang a firesteel etc. Plus it looks cool.

They look great. You gots skills. Mac

I really like the 2-tone look and the particular tooling you are doing is one of my favorites. It really hides imperfections in the leather and ages well.

Good looking stuff.

HUGE welt for safety - tie down section for lanyard hole - with a little style thrown in I am sure.

Good stuff :thumbup:

I added a removable firesteel loop.

This can be moved to both sides of the small sheath:
