Well fellas, here are today's projects.Powder flask belt pouch and belt holder for flashlight. However I must say the flask pouch isn't quite complete. The lacing strap is just temporary. Once what I have ordered arrives, it will have a keeper strap that matches the pouch with a snap closure.

Just wanting some opinions. Which stain? The stain on the first holster, or the lighter stain on this one?
Same pattern and stamps. Just altered the pattern a little to fit my 1851 .36 better. And applied the light stain.

Well that's a drag, I remember when Gerber was the US knife to have. Are Buck knives still made here?

Yes, Buck is one of the few companies still making knives in the U.S.

And as promised. One with my Pietta 1851 .36 caliber in it.
I'd stain it whatever makes you happy - they both look good. There's many USA knife makers. Punch in "smoky mountain knife" and then in the search " knives made in the USA." Some companies like Remington import and make them here. The bullet series is a USA knife. At one time years ago Remington was the largest knife maker in the world. They had over a 1000 different patterns and made 10,000 knives a day. This was between 1920 and WW2. Bear & Son now makes the bullet knife for Remington here in the US.
