Home made sheaths for my SOGs - large pics

Over the last few months, I've been making my own leather sheaths for some of my SOG knives. Here are some pics with descriptions:

Here are all of my home made sheaths displayed in the order I made them.

Sorry about the long download times but I think it was worth it. As you can tell, the sheaths keep getting better and better. Hope you all enjoy them. I know I do.

Wildmanh, You ARE the man ! How in the world did you do all that without cutting your fingers off ! Boy that is some fine work, and I can't Imagine the hours you have in those.
Of course my favorite is the REVOLVER sheaths, the one with the lanyard strap is the coolest, it just looks well made and would enable you to put the Revolver in with knife or saw blade locked in.
You really are getting better, I think all of them are great examples of solid workmanship made by a person who wants to have fine holsters for his knives, like I said to you one other time, nothing makes a knife look tougher than a fine leather sheath.
Those will be around when I am long gone, one thing please do, Get some cheap letter stamps from somewhere, I used to get mine cheap from pawn shops (china stamps are o.k. for leather), check to make sure that all the letters in your name (on stamps) are o.k. and sharp, also check for numbers, preferably 04 or 2004 and stamp your name on the back of each one with date.
This is very easy to do and sometimes you can find a complete set for about $10.00 used. With these cheaper stamps you can stamp just about everything except hard steel. The reason I say make your mark is so years down the road, anybody that sees these will say, oh yeah, Heber made this in 04. .
You done great on these and I look forward to seeing more. After you stamp, get a fine tip permanent marker and trace each letter inside, it will stay many years. Thank for posting these.

Great work Heber! I can see you improving with each one, that's the way to do it!
I like the colour on that Busse (BUSSE?!) sheath...
Now a pancake style in that colour would look really cool on a Field Pup...
Keep it up!

So you like that look eh? Then that's the way the sheath will be. Yep, with every sheath I look to see what I can inprove on and I do it (well, most of the time). Glad you like em.

Robbie, don't let the pics fool you. I've lost a little blood making one or two of those sheaths. The stamp idea is a good one. I have a complete set of Alphabet stamps and matching number stamps at my mom's place. When we find them I'll start using them. I already have an idea for my mark.

By the way, I'm working on a sheath for my Mini Pentagon right now and have marked the back with my initals, the date and sheath number. I think you guys will like it when it's done.

You like the sandwich sheath best eh? I'll have to remember that. he he he
