Jeff, what is the function of the leather piece wrapped around the 3rd sheath from the top?

That's a Frog... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> The Sheath can be pulled out of the frog when needed without having to take the belt loop part off. Just ask you fellow Hawaiian, Matthew about it, he has it now. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

P/D - the "frog" is simply another way to carry the knife/sheath. Old-time Mountain Men and such often had knife sheaths with just a stud sticking out of the leather, which would support the knife and prevent it from falling off his belt or capote sash/belt. The "frog" goes around the sheath and catches the stud with the notch, and provides a more secure carry than just tucking the knife in a belt, as it also has a belt loop. I hope this explanation makes sense! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

By the way, I have made some of my flashlight holders quite similar to a "frog". They are basically just two straps sewn together, one holding the flashlight and the other a belt loop. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Old belts are great for this! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

One of my co-workers at work (my day job) brought me a newspaper clipping showing where some company was making custom flooring tiles from old belts... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Jeff! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> But flooring tiles made from belts worn by people? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> I guess I could see them using hay-baler belts or similar equipment belts due to their size, but "people belts" seem awfully small for that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

They probably got them at thrift stores -- if Andy didn't beat them to the belts! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
