All About Pocket Knives

Just noticed we have this new section for leather work. Cool thought I share some of my past works.

Here's a couple sheaths I did awhile back.

From the looks of those you been at awhile. Really nice work!!!

Nice, clean work EBM.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

EBM, I notice your stamp reads Huntsville. That isn't from a class while you were in Huntsville was it? Great work both plain and fancy.

No not from a class. I do get that a lot though. When people see Huntsville, we are known for our prisons . I've seen some amazing leather work come out of the craft departments. But I've never worked for or been in TDCJ

I'm self taught. Never took any classes. Lot of practice and trail and error.

Glad you are both legal and talented.

Made a dozen of these for a buddy of mine so everyone at the ranch could have one. Holds a 4-1/8" trapper (case 54 pat) is what they all use

That looks sharp. I like it

VERY nice work!
I had a friend that was self taught too. He made leather work look easy. I figured...."Man, I can do this..." Boy was I wrong.

I salute your talent sir!

Eye Brand man your top sheath is like the famous Marble's Coquina sheath..
it also held 2 knives and a sharpening steel, only made from 1902-06
I got Michigan Leathersmith Jack Mosher to sell me one of only 6 or so he made,
mine is made of Horse Hide, tooled with the old Marble's Cattails on it

That's very nice stagman I loosely based mine on it. I seen one in an old magazine about Buffalo hunters and I patterned mine by eye of it.

Well you did a great job on it and I like your choice of knives...

ones in them buffalo hunters rigs...
Marble's had 2 stag knives and a stag steel...really like the stag steel
ya got with yours..that's a kick ..., well you know.. rig buddy !!!
Got to feel proud putting it all together from a picture in a book !!!
just another example that makes the hobby so fascinating !!!
