GF - I certainly appreciate your slow spelling for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> However, we have several feed and seed stores around here, and they don't sell much in the way of leather. However, the Tandy store in Springfield does! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well slap my momma! A feed store without leather.....both my towns and its sister town's Feed stores stock it.

Go easy on your momma! The only kind of animals that would feed on leather, that I know of, are leather sewers. Moo!

Hmm…I’ve never heard of a feed store selling leather. Why would a feedstore sell leather? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />



Well, I have the info, I just haven’t set down and tried it yet. I posted some good links of how-to, along with some other sheathmaking info at Rat Chat: Leather Sheathmaking Question

I was planning on using a drill or punch to make the holes, to make it a little easier sewing-wise.


We have one of those in Indy, but I’ve never been there. Once I try my Shaker sheath, if it turns out well, I might have to make a trip and get some stuff. I haven’t looked yet, but thought I might get cheaper leather on eBay. I find about everything else there cheaper. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Good luck Andy!

Thanks. I have the pieces all cut out, I just need to punch and sew 'em. It probably won't take that long to do, I've just been putting it off. It's been like 4 months since I started on it...guess I better finish it soon. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I think I'm going to try one myself, and plan on using a tiny drill bit for the holes in the leather. I'm shooting for "plain but functional" for my first attempt.

4 months...sounds like some professionals!.....

GF - that's just "two weeks" in Swamp time!

If thats the case I am not even old enough to buy these knives!!

Don't worry about it GF - I'll write a note for you if needed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Appreciated.....as long as I don't have to send them to you first for inspection to make sure I can have it!.....By the way BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE BOWIE!!!!!
