I just finished up this knife and sheath. I've only done a couple scout carry rigs, and I gotta tell you they are tricky even though they look simple!

Gotta agree with Phil!

 

[Lorien]

thank you, Dave

Finished off another batch of knives and sheaths:

As usual I had some sheaths to do for some other folks kniives too:

A Winkler:

Couldn't make out the makers etch on this one it was very light:

Finished off a holster and belt both with a water buffalo overlay and turquoise stitching:

A roughout rifle scabbard with tooled and dyed initials:

And a holster for a Taurus Judge. First time I've ever done one for that handgun:

hopefully not too much of a son of a bitch, but it's a pretty hefty number- so it might cause some grumbling. Fits in a back pocket preety good

For back pocket how about clips instead of belt loops?

 

[Lorien]

Thanks G2. Probably, I could make out Gene but that was it. A very well made knife

I think you made those for Legolas for finishing off Orcs! And thats meant as a compliment cause Legolas would not carry any junk! A very refined fellow.

Finished off a very heavy duty set of farrier chaps. This leather is often referred to tin the western world as mulehide but its not. Its real name is apron split. It comes in two tannages firm and soft. Most farriers want the firmer tannage. When doubled in the knee pad area it is very stout indeed.

On the right leg two knife pockets.

On the left leg one knife pocket and a sewn in farriers magnet. The magnet will hold the horseshoe nails while working:

Adjustable leg straps in back round er off:

While I was building these Nichole was finishing off these for an order:

Roughout spur straps are probably our biggest seller as far as spur straps go.

working on a batch of twelve CPK dagger sheaths- happy to have figured out a way to get my mark centred with consistent placement. Nothing bugs me more than something that's supposed to be symmetrical and isn't

 

[Robber58]

Symmetry was almost my life for years but I learned a long time ago I would never get my mark perfectly centered and aligned. So, I intentionally put it on at varying angles on every piece I make. I do make some effort to center it though. I have never had a complaint about it. A example.

first of all; that's some nice work!
secondly, I totally agree about mark placement, generally speaking. In this case the sheaths are as symmetrical as I could make them so an off center mark stands out like crazy. I almost threw the prototype for this batch in the garbage because the mark was off center, but fortunately someone bought it instead

Been studying these for a bit. Very cool. Particularly like the shot showing the center welt. I'd sure like to see a pic of this on if you got it. either in the back pocket as you mentioned or small of the back (SOB) carry like I originally thought. Very Very nice work. Like I said I keep coming back and looking at these photos.
