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?

That's a nice looking holster, keep up the good work.

I like the first one a lot better.

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

I'll try to get a picture posted after while with my .36 in it.

 

[maint1517]

And as promised. One with my Pietta 1851 .36 caliber in it.

Dang it! Now I want to hit up the Tandys down the road and make a shooting pouch. I hate this place (it makes me spend money).

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.
