Boy, that first one is a bit scary carry! Whole idea of a sheath is to protect the carrier and the blade.

Pretty nice "humble" leather work. Some of your detail carving is very good.
Might recommend a little bit lower hang on those big handle knives, kind of tough on the ribs.

What part of TN?
What kind of knives are you making?

WOW Awesome leather work and I really love the Buck sheath as I have two sizes of the Buck knives I love them both. What part of Tennessee do you live ? I would not mind getting together with you some time .

Once again Sanch you have my interest and I need to comment. Excellent leather work, the look I really like. That Puma sheath reminds me of those quick draw IPSC holsters with the cut-out.

I haven't made any sheaths yet, but that will be my winter project, in both leather and kydex. I would love to make a leather solo seat for my Electra Glide. I really like yours! If you are into Shovelheads then you are probably really good with tools and probably turn out some nice blades.

I also plan on making a Bowie fabricated into a shifter linkage for my twin-cam. Never seen one before. Reason to make one. Another winter project. Take care.

Yes I am aware that the puma sheath has a huge safety consideration! I made it for a very close friend who "ordered" it the way it was made!
Addressing the ride height of the two larger knives, they are both"display" pieces the bowie it's older than I am even though it is a foreign make. The tooth pick was a gift from someone to someone (not one of my creations) I do appreciate any constructive criticism thank you! I am currently making EDC fixed blades and
straight razors please look at my gallery.
I am in Clarksville Tennessee
Thanks to all who responded to my post this is a great place I'm glad to be here with you all Sam and Tony thanks for the kind words as well as Crex! Oh yea I forgot to add yes I do own a Shovelhead! FLH kick start only, 5 speed open primary 3" BDL yup she is a old school bobberwith 16" ape hangers..
