While waiting on the parts for the next WildGoo combo (the Frambo, a BIG effing Bowie http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=586968 ) - I put this sheath together along with some Old West gun leather, a period Bowie, and it's sheath (see below)...
I call this a neo-Frontier since the knife is a "modern" style made by Muela albeit a variation on a Bowie (I did age it though per the customer's request.) - on the other hand this style sheath would be not be out of place for the mid-1800's.......
It's deer rawhide over a vegtan liner decorated with a bit of scratching and tacks on the lower part, a few spots on the belt loop, a German Silver concho, some lacing, and fringe on the cuff .......kind of "plain" for me I know
, but it makes for a real nice change of pace (it took hours instead of days!)...
It's going bear hunting next month along with the owner's new C Sharps Arms M74 in 45-70.......
I also have to give a nod to Karen Shook - I stitched up the edge seams in a variation of her inimitable style......
