New (recycled) Leather and Slip

[hamsco]

I've been working on nice ways to carry the great knives that have found their way to my home.
Earlier this year in a thread on GEC fixed blades, one of our porch members Brumby53, posted a picture of a sheath that he made from an old kangaroo leather boot. I thought it was creative and turned out great.
He was extremely generous (common in porch members) and shipped me another section of the boot all the way from down under. It took a while, but I have a kangaroo leather sheath for my stag drop point.
Thank you Brumby53. I will have this combo an my hip this season when i'm in the woods.

I also have been collecting Viper's, and my prize knife is a SFO in Ivory Bark. A friend on mine is a leatherworker who works in exotic leathers, and had a small piece of elephant hide for a slip.
It turned out nice.

That viper/slip combo is stunning.

That viper is stunning, and the slip just adds to the appeal!

Nice! Here's one I made for my 85EO

And here's a slip for my stone that I literally finished not even 5 minutes ago

Note: These are all made from the same piece of leather and waxed string that I made my watch strap out of!

That's a great combo. Nice work! :thumbup:

Excellent work, guys.
I've realized I should get one or more pocket-slips, not to protect the knife so much as the pockets.

I used to think my dad was an idiot for refusing to carry his keys on a proper key-ring instead of in a folding case. Some decades and some holed pockets later, I think I understand his reasons.
