Between my recurring back problem (can only work a few hours a day :( :mad: :( ) and playing catchup on my cowboy trappings orders well I finally got a chance to do a frontier sheath...
The "Knife" is by mi amigo Dana Acker of Acker Forge.
This "Knife" is for those who like them hefty - 1/4" thick x 8 1/2" Blade (to end of antler), Overall length is 15" - the grip is an elk leg bone wrapped with rawhide and hemp cord - weight 1 lb 3 ozs - a real handful, but VERY well balanced - Dana can make them big but he does it right! ;) a great camp knife.
The sheath is buffalo rawhide over an oak tan core - the fur is buffalo and the snake is Montana rattler - rattles and all - the heck with words here's the pics

Hope ya'll enjoy looking as much as I enjoyed making...BTW - Buddy is the owner of this piece
 
Thankfully, so does the customer
it looks awesome! Really very nice.......everything I see in the pictures I like! A gen-u-wine rattlesnake rattle? - you should see the big grin on my face. Makes me wanna say 'Hot damn!'
 
I'm changing my name to Buddy. Now send me my knife!

Very nice work as always.....

I like the use of the rattles on that sheath...

I agree, that's some really great work, Chuck. I should say, you guys involved in that package, very nice work, indeed.
 
Thanks guys - it was a nice change of pace after all that stamping and carving on the cowboy gear. ;)
