    Nice stuff, guys.

    As for me, well ... most of my friends think that my ability to shave with a straight razor is the most impressive and arcane skill ever!

    Well first off THANKS for putting me in the company of some BIG BIG names. I really don't think I'm even in the same league but thanks anyways.

    Second...that is some AWESOME work you guys have displayed!
    I would love to work with leather, make some knives and have the patience to paint like that.

    I am IMPRESSED...

    I'll take those 4. Especially since it's the right time of year to be jigging!

    The first and last time I made a knife sheath. [Not that I won't try again.] I made a pattern to fit cut it out and put the leather backwards. I ended up with a "left hand " sheath.

    I took that for a hint and gave my son who is left handed the knife and sheath.
