Fire Place Tools and Rack

All forged from 3/8" square stock.

Lined bag with hand woven stap

Probably one of most time consuming leather projects I've tackled. This bag was made using thick bark tanned deer skin, lining fabric, waxed linen thread, a hand woven sash, and steel buckles. All pockets and gussets are lined. Everything is hand sewn with a saddle stitch. After completion the bag was wet formed, dried , and treated with a leather preservative.

Belt Knife

This knife has a 5 1/4" blade forged from 1084 carbon steel. It measures 9 3/4" overall. The handle is whitetail antler with the spiral pattern cut and filed in. The pommel and bolster are steel with the tang passing clear through. With it is a form fitted sheath made from vegetable tanned cow hide, that is hand sewn with linen thread and dyed dark. It shaves!

Rifleman's Knife

This knife has a 6 1/4" blade forged from 1084 steel, a pewter bolster, and the tang passes through the whitetail antler handle about 3/4 of the way back. The sheath is vegetable tanned cow hide sewn with linen thread and dyed dark- still wet in this photo. I may antique the sheath and darken the pewter.
