    Nice work Geezer. Doesn't look easy, is it cast aluminium?

    So do you machine the head or how do you make it?

    Well, I'm pretty sure Geezer fabricates the PF.
    I would like to hear the details...kind of metal, how long to turn one out...
    Altogether cool...years ago I met a machinist who was making parts for NASA in his home shop. The cottage industry is dead, long live the cottage industry!

    The PF's are machined. Solid brass in this case. I do the prototypes and they are now CNC'd stainless steel and hand finished. The Lusso/ Sama was a special request from a friend and I had a blank chunk of brass lying around from a few years back. The handle attachment is cut from brass bar stock and drilled tapped and counterbored into the pf body. Manually, the time would be a day for one or a group. Setup for each tool and position is the time killer. enough awready!!

    OK, I know there are more skills out there!! Let's see them!

    As promised no more Hubba Bubba Gum pouches for a while,,, so here is a sheath I made for an old Hawkbill knife. I received it from Bruno years ago as an extra when I bought a steak knife from him. It sat in the drawer for a long time, as I could not figure out what to use it for. Then a few months ago I got into these leather projects & found out what a great leather cutter it was on thick leather. I put a 1K edge on it & it slices through old bull belly leather with ease. So I made a sheath for it.
    Thanks for looking.

    The distressed "antiqued" look of the leather is great! It really looks good. I tinker with leather a bit and have a ton of tools. You make me want to dig it all out and have a go at it again.
