Kind of knife related

Post by OLDE CUTLER »

I guess this is kind of knife related, as one definitely needs to be wearing a belt before you can carry that Buck 110 in its sheath. This has been on the to do list for a long time, but now with the social distancing and so on and time to kill, I decided to get to it. It is a 1- 1/2" wide leather belt that I made from a strip of 8-9 oz cowhide, basket weave, dark brown.

Yes, I know somebody is going to ask, it is 2 inches bigger than my previous one.

Very impressive! I imagine all the hand stamping was quite tedious. :D ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::
