Hair on hide and Buffalo 112 sheath

[Makael]

Well this is a new one for me. I was in the leather store and couldn't resist this beautiful Hair on huge chunk of leather. Came home and thought which knife to build a sheath for. This might be my first 112 sheath. Plus my favorite 112 in 5160. Here is half of the piece. With Buffalo I line the inside completely with some leather I got from a backpack manufacturer that is waterproofed. I'm hoping it will keep the brass from tarnishing.

That is a classy sheath. 300

Wow is that ever nice. And I agree with 300, very classy.

110 sticks out a bit further but not too bad. Sheath still a touch wet from some dye.

Damascus and stag 110 for comparison. I suppose it could fit both 110 and 112.

Beautiful work as always, and a really nice 112 and 110 to go with it.

One of your best sheaths, IMHO.

That is some beautiful work you've done, and it seems perfect for the Damascus and stag 110. Both very Western!!!

Horsewright?

I think it’s cowhide maybe Texas Longhorn

 

[Makael]

Was Horsewright the maker?

 

[skylercstevens]

It’s a buck custom 905 sheath made by Wes Chapman in the 80s. He made most of their custom shop sheaths. Pretty sure it’s a one of a kind made on request back then.

What kind of thumb stud is that on the pic of the open knife lying on the sheath? The one with the 5160 blade?
