Sheath for Robert Hill Horn Handled Knife

[Marcruger]

I just finished this unadorned sheath for a horn handled knife by Robert Hill.  3-4 ounce cowhide, saddle stitched by hand.  Linen waxed thread.  Welted.  In my opinion, these things can be harder to make than a bag.  Lots of elements in a very small space.  I can see why gunmakers can prefer rifle work to pistol work.  :-)  Close to a vinegaroon colored finish.  God Bless,   Marc

Outstanding! That would look quite nice down here on Stoner Creek!!

Thank you Wayne.  Robert does some really neat knives.  I have to resist adopting any more knives from Robert or Walter.  Sort of like you and gathering up longrifles.   

I am not sure if Robert is keeping this horn handled knife for himself or not, but you can PM him and ask.   :-) 

God Bless,   Marc

Nice!

That sheath really compliments the knife and in my humble opinion, adds a lot of value to the package.

[BOB HILL]

You both did a classy job, Marc.

[Robert Hill]

Looks all good to me my friend, hope the patch knife, stag handled knife, and bone handled knife are all serving well.

Very nice Marc and I agree, sometimes the smaller items, simplicity in looks, but can be a PIA to sew up.  Many details before the items begins to look like it's supposed to be.  Good job.
