New Belt

[nick681]

That INFI on your hip weighing you down? Is that big ol' piggyback sheath hanging down just a little too far? Are your pants saggin' like a sixteen year old juvenile delinquent?

Well then feast your eyes on this!

The belt is constructed out of 2 layer of 8-10 oz. leather, saddle stitched by hand. The outer layer is dyed Mahogany and the inner layer left natural. The final finish is several coats of Obenaufs LP, a natural leather preservative developed for wilderness firefighters boots and easily reapplied by the end user.

The belt measures out at right about .25" thick and 1.5" wide. It fits just fine through the belt loops on all my jeans.

And of course obligatory INFI in the matching sheath.


Let me know what you think,

Nick

Looks nice. Coincidently, I just bought a Filson 1.5" belt. I didn't go with the double layered version though.

Nice knife belt you have there. I wear a 10 oz leather belt just a tad under 2 inch thick. Thick and sturdy is the way to go when carrying knives and other stuff on the belt.

Very nice, Nick! Do you make a new belt for each knife?

How much $$$$$ for one like that

Nice work Nick. I have made a few single thckness belts, but not double. You have laid down the gauntlet.

No way! I have more knives than pants.

I am glad you like it! This post was merely to show my latest work not a solicitation for business, having said that the price is $100.00. I am glad you like it!

Nice work Nick. I have made a few single thickness belts, but not double. You have laid down the gauntlet

Thanks John, I really enjoyed making it almost as much as I enjoy wearing it.


Thank you all for the kind words everyone. I am really enjoying leather work. Making something useful is very rewarding.

I am looking to make these belts for sale in the near future. Folks may contact me off line for details, since this is not the proper place for such discussion.

Now I think it's time to start another sheath.


Regards,

Nick
