A sewing machine made a huge difference in how much fun making these can be.

So you are saying that sewing up a sheath in a few minutes , is more fun than taking 1 or 2 hours to sew it up by hand?:) Next I suppose you will be telling us that you don't miss the sore fingers from pulling the stitches tight when sewing by hand?:D

O.B.
 
Makael those are some beauty sheaths,One thing about most fixed blade sheaths from buck is they are all right hand carry and im a lefty ,I always have my knife on backwards they say lol.

factory production sheaths should be ambidextrous IMHO. Really no reason not to be.

Sanded the guard down on my 124. I wanted a slip sheath but the factory guard is on the large side and makes it a bit tougher. This leather is heavily oiled and lightens up when stressed.

I know this is about the sheaths but I wouldn't mind seeing a better profile of that guard. I've had a strong desire to pull the top guard off of my 5160 119 I bought from you a year or two ago. Make it a little easier to put a thumb on the spine for my more regular uses.

It is sheath related. I ground the guard down so i could swing by bum thumb on top of the blade plus makes using a slip sheath much easier. I picked up a houser Barrel nut 119 that he had ground the guard down on. Then bought a spin on Pommel 119 with the guard done the same way. 15702881935414225036190475502693.jpg 1570288224539349815302975226179.jpg 15702883079871328635973852797156.jpg 20191005_080201.jpg 20191005_080148.jpg 20191005_080317.jpg 20191005_080234.jpg 20191005_080214.jpg
