I really like frontier style knives. You did a great job on both the knife and the sheath. That last photo really sucks.

Thanks Chuck! Coming from you, that means a lot to me, since you are one of my heros in this field. It was a phone call to you several years ago that got me on the right track to working with rawhide, and for that I will always be grateful!! Than you also for your help with the pics. You really did a lot for them!:thumbup:
