Whacha Been Up To......

This is what Gary G. Graley has been up to:
The sheath that came with the knife was paper thin so I asked Gary to work His magic. Gary did a fantastic job!
A Great sheath from a Great person.

I was very nervous making something to dimensions as it’s not always straight forward. So I was waiting to hear if it did work out and I was glad to hear that it worked well.
Burgundy dye airbrushed on and some brown tiger thread, I didn’t want to put anything in the middle because I knew that the knife might distort any embossing there, so just some border embossing and a grooved edge at the opening

I don’t stitch across the leather as it weakens and can tear under tension just like perforated paper over time. So I glue the belt loop down and stitch the half moon.

Thanks for the opportunity and your kind words!

Very interesting knife. Can you tell us what that is sticking out the butt end of the knife? I searched online but found very little info on that particular knife and nothing about that silver-coloured piece.

Search for "Marbles safety folding hunter"...a very old design.
" silver-coloured piece" holds the blade when closed. locks the blade when open.
