John, my friend, Terry has to feel highly complimented with the reactiion you have to his work. I do not see how it could be any less, and from one with such talent in the same field. I am no longer easily impressed after 65 years of mangling cowhide but you two have done one heck of a job in...

Nick, my friend, you continue to do very nice work---neat and functional. Your input here will be valued as well as your extended friendship-------------Sandy

Mark---there is an old saying that goes like this, "Ask and you shall receive!" And from those that know, too!

Jose, my friend, it is so good to see you here again! Your work is always very impressive and you flatter my ego by mentioning my name as an inspiration to you. The man that posted just ahead of me is the man that impresses me more than any sheathmaker I know. Paul and I are no longer...

I cannot begin to tell you how often that Paul has spoken for me!!!

I have used rawhide mallets for heavier stamping for years and have not had problems other than having to reface occasionally. For the lighter stamping I prefer the striking stick which uses a rotating wrist motion that is superb for walking the beveler or stamping backgrounds. I learned to...

Your question is unclear. Anything to do with knife sheaths?

Bearpaw you did an excellent job as previous posters have stated!!! You might consider another option that you might like if I might make the suggestion----- Cut the belt loop straps from the face of the sheath and you can have the back of the sheath showing in the grain side rather than the...

The stitcher with ALL of those attachments is a very good buy---------

A second hand "Boss" is a good buy if you can get it for around $700/750 and will give years of service. The company is pleasant to deal with, also!

Hi, Paul------------see you in Atlanta

John, my friend, many years of making sheaths and admiring those made by others will eventually bring a "Ho Hum, what's new?" attitude that is difficult to ignore. It is seldom that anything new shows up and when it does I often see your name as the maker. This sheath of barn oak, rawhide and...

There have been times, rarely, when I have made a custom sheath for a buyer, usually a local, that when it was delivered was not to his liking. I have also found out that at the time of delivery that the purchaser was also financially troubled and was looking for an easy out. If the sheath has...

John, my friend---I received the video and am very impressed with the quality displayed in its production. I am even more impressed with the tutorial showing the progression in making the sheath. I have rarely worked with rawhide so this was all new to me. Thanks again. I hope to see you in...

My friend, Dwayne, has stated his position on this situation as exactly as I could have done. You would do yourself a favor if you would purchase your leathers from reputable firms. The leather that is shown in this sheath looks as though it might have been in storage for YEARS and was no...

They say that the older you get that the harder you are to please, right? Well, I am probably one of the oldest members here (87 day after tomorrow) and I am as pleased as can be with this forum and its administration. ---Sandy---

Great basket weave------- and beautiful high lighting!

Ron Miller (deceased) designed that knife and in collaboration with Reese Wieland, Jr, and Charles Ochs, were attempting to sell it to the military, which did occur in a minor fashion. The knife is everything that it could possibly be as far as construction, materials, and imagination could...

Now that we know a little about you, friend---what do you do for an encore?? ---LOL---

Horacio made this sheath for Paul Long. These are two of the finest sheathmakers in their selected fields that are on this planet------------
