It has been a while - Here is my latest leather.

I finished this sheath up a few days ago. The blade is a ML Kephart with special specs on the handle. It is a great knife.

The sheath is 8-10 ounce leather (closer to 10 as it was from the shoulder). Color was a special blend of mine. Removable dangler.

Superb piece of work. I wish I could send a knife to you to get one made but the cost is too prohibitive.

This pic is just so nice. The texture, the colour and that perfect, clean stitching... Very nice.

EXCEPTIONAL quality comes to mind.

My very first (1976, made for my father as a Christmas present) I used a "star" roller to mark the stitch locations and then a three tined hand punch from Tandy Leather.
Rough is the best discription.
Now these photos were taken last week and Dad carried the knife for many Western NY Deer hunts.

Call it what you will - but it is still in GREAT shape over 30 years later. I like it.

I believe that's the cleanest stitching I've ever seen. Beautiful work!

Nice work! I can almost smell the leather

Very Beutiful... I was impressed when I saw it. I really like the extra hand stitching effort, seperates us from the chinese..lol

Is the belt loop hand stitched on the back?

Diomedes Industries · Sep 2, 2010

I don't own a sewing machine. It is all hand stitched.
