Thread: We Have Skills Too !!

Very nice Sir.

Yup you got skills, no doubt about it.
That looks great, kinda like functional art.
I like Tanto point knives, they can be pretty rough on a sheath

Hey Guys,

I finally gave my old Ka-Bar a new home. I threw in a spare room for a vintage Nicholson file to keep her running sharp, should I ever find myself away from the hones. (Probably will never happen)

Thanks for looking,,,,,,,,,

Excellent work. Is that knife from your days with the USMC?

You do very nice leather work

Yes, it is. In my military specialty, electronic repair, a Ka-Bar was not assigned. They issued me a soldering iron instead. But every Marine gets one, whether he uses it or not.

I guess with the soldering iron you could cauterize any wounds you might acquire.

Seriously, you are really putting out some nice leather projects.

The tax payers spent 2 1/2 years paying for specialized electronics & soldering classes & I left to do something totally different.
But, I still got my Ka-Bar.

You not only got the Ka-Bar but you can solder!

Outstanding work John! That KaBar still looks nice too! I still have mine.
