I need some ideas for a sheath. I have no inspiration at the moment. Got any pics of what might look nice for this bowie. I quite like the western style but dont have any ideas.
This is my Indian or Mountain Man style. I actually recycled the fringe part from a bowie sheath. Frankly I wish I had not but that's water under the bridge. People tend to use too-little fringe which makes it look like play-Indian toys. Fringe was usually just the excess from a oddly shaped piece of leather. Ideally you would use old, recycled leather that had some distress to it. In this case, I made the sheath from an old pair of those early 70s style "Apache" boots that you saw a lot of hippies and Woodstock attendees wearing...I was a kid and I wanted to be like an Apache not a hippie.
The concho and the turquoise bead are not so hot and I'd do this differently today.
Still working slowly, almost done.
Have 2 other started. Lots of pics to post.
Will probabaly start my own thread so I dont clog up yours. then you and the guys will have more to look at.
Get those pics up Bikerdoc, any of those going to be biggies?
Should i do a sheath with tassels? I know its porno, but to be honest, im never realy going to carry it except when i hunt, there it'll kinda fit in with my .50cal BP or bow.
Been a long time, but just to let you guys know that I sold all my knives to some american guests for R6500 (just short of $1000). Not bad for a amatuer hey? Kept the kwena bowie though.
Thanks guys, my other hobies are getting the better of me. Seriously into bp hunting now. Spending all my time now casting and making powder. As soon as the forge gets fired up, ill be back. Again, thanks for all the support in the past.
