Making rawhide.

Some already know, but to those that don't I make all my own rawhide. Mostly deer, but some elk and antelope when I get a hold of the hides.

Here are the latest, since it was nice last week, and they unfroze!

And since I am making these just for sheath work, I am able to put some character in them, that bought ones dont have. I didn't scrape all the hair form the edges, so I can use them for the fronts of sheaths. And I have found that how the dye goes in, depends on how much scraping you do on the hide.

Killinger Blades Sheath and Dangler

Made this up for a fella over on BushcraftUSA, knife was made by my buddy over at Killinger Blades  this is his Pioneer model. Great little blade.


Anyway......here are the pictures.

Rawhide sheath, with a beautiful stack leather and stag knife.

Made this one up just to offer for sale, in an effort to get my work into peoples hands without a wait list. The knife came from a fellow on BushcraftUSA goes by RWfred, great work on his blades. I have another to do as well. Might have to keep that one

Again this one has a hidden ferro rod and a sail neddle.
