Show off your Fiddlebacks and Leather

Second attempt at stamping... gotta figure out a better way to do the border around the stamp... but still I like it so far...

Spectacular work. I am not sure what your problem is with the border around the stamp; to me it looks really good. I think that the knife / sheath combo matches really well. I especially like the way the thread matches the pins / lanyard hole. Well done!!!

This Kephart is getting a lot of use lately. The sheath by Heber Ellsworth was originally for a different Kephart but it matches the Osage better.

Nice! I always like seeing Heber's stuff in this thread. There are a lot of good - no, GREAT, sheath makers providing pants for Fiddlebacks. However, there is something unique and attractive about Heber's work. I have a few of his sheaths, and cannot say enough good things about his work. I understand that he is semi-retired these days, but I really wish he would do just a few more sheaths (for me) as part of a "farewell tour."

This is really a great thread! I have a few sheaths from Nix Leather that should be here in a few weeks. I will be sure to share pics when they arrive.

Cheers to all! Keep on posting the cool leather and steel pictures!

Coolio. Osage with nat/blue, well Osage with anything is a fave of mine. The bobcat looks like a really useful model, enjoy!
 
love that kephart bear. beautiful. and you do good work heespharm. nice job with the stamping.

i'm a hack. what i like to say after is, "fully functional". :rolleyes: :D

but, it's because of this that i can really appreciate good leather work. it is not as easy as folks make it out to appear. :thumbup:

Thanks.. like anything it's 70percent planning 20 attention to deal and 10 work.. also periodic practicing I've been at it regularly for a year and I still feel like I constantly need practice... my handicap is that I have two left hands and am clumsy but leatherwork calms me.. those people who can stamp and swivel cut free hand amaze me!
