I really like it. Excellent job. Do you make these for sale to the public?

Thanks Mike.
Marc, yes sir, I do sell a few but it is mostly a hobby. My Dad did some leather work and I was interested in it but didn't have the patience as a kid. When I was in my 20's I got tired of store bought belts tearing up so I borrowed my Dad's tools and built my own. I messed with it on and off but have been doing a good bit of stuff in the past 5-6 years. Mostly belts and slings and I have done a few wallets.

Thanks bucknbass. The knife is from Mike Connor (MikeC). Damascus with Auodad horn, black and red liners with copper pins and tube. I built the sheath to match my belt and a pouch I built for a pair of lineman scissors I use for work. I sat down Friday with my Lanskey and this blade is ridiculously sharp! He also built two damascus with Mesquite burl for my nephews. I will build similar sheaths for both of them this week. I'll post pics if y'all would like to see them. Right now I don't have any hair left on my arm. Thanks again Mike!
