    This Old West style clip point bowie with jigged bone handle belongs to me and I made this cowboy/frontier style leather sheath to go with it.
    This sheath uses a Sam Browne stud and a 'frog' as was popular on this type of sheath. This allows the sheath to be hung from the belt or the frog can be removed so it can be slipped inside the belt or trousers on its own.
    The sheath has a limited edition California state quater featuring John Muir inlaid into it as well as some vintage mockodile. I picked up the quarter on holiday in California in 2005 and I love Yosemite so it's a nice reminder of the park for me.

    I have an old Texas knife. You have inspired me to make a sheath for it out of rattlesnake skin and turquoise! Thank you for a beautiful video and constant excellence in your work. It is something to aspire to.

      But it sure looked the best
      with the state that's furthest west!
      P.S. i know its not technically the furthest west but it rhymes okay, plus im from California so im biased haha

I also repaired many saddles of all kinds. I want to start doing leather work at home as a hobby/ side business. I am very meticulous and hope to produce high quality work like you do some day. Liked and subscribed. You sir are a master. ;)

    I also like these barebones demonstration videos because I can just watch the process and see what you do. I really appreciate that also.

    First off, brilliant craftsmanship my friend. You are amazing :) Simply, one of the best sheathes I've seen. I make knives, but I don't make sheathes. Just an FYI I'm a pure hobbyist...not a professional knife maker. I got a full time career lol! But I'm thinking about trying my hand at leathermaking just so I can make sheathes.

    • @jensdavidsen4557
      @jensdavidsen4557 7 лет назад +1

      I dabble in far too much ... wood tuning, blacksmithing, and, in order to make sheaths for knives I forge, I think I need to invest in yet another craft. Cheers!! James
