    I'm still itching to make something but I don't have anything that needs leatherwork doing at the moment unfortunately so I am really enjoying your creations @hunter Al.7mm08

    One day I might make a trip up north and we'll have to have that bourbon ....

    I could give you a project if only I could find/source a round (think old western) water canteen / bottle inner. I want to get a leather covered water canteen to go with my cowboy action shooting kit.

    Something like this suitably engraved with Rattlesnake Rushy would fit the bill.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Here is three sheaths I finished off in recent weeks, I have always been a fan of pocket sheaths for small fixed blade knives like the ESEE Izula.

    Hi @S.E.G Nice sheaths , but just curious as to why the second one has the extra leather off to the side . Is that what you have called a pocket sheath ? And is the extra width to stop it flopping around in a pocket or just for larger surface area for a belt loop ? Forgive my ignorance but I have not heard that term/description before ......

    Thanks for the comments, yes the pocket sheath is just that, a sheath that you carry in your pocket and the width allows it to sit in place without moving about.

    Recently got asked to make a belt pouch big enough for a cell phone and a few bits n pieces with an attached but separate compartment for ammo.Turned out to be a bit a bit of a pain in the neck,but this is the end result.
