A simple knife fix-it and new clothes for it

[ChuckBurrows]

A fairly simple 1870's tack style - bark tan body, braintan cuff, brass tacks, and rawhide lace. The belt goes through the slot and over the body.



A simple way to fix a cracked handle with stitched on rawhide and also it covers up the three rivets that weren't used much until after the late 1880's or so, thus making it more PC for the earlier period. The rawhide is decoed with brass tacks and three linen cord wraps. It's a small Russell Green river (hunter's style?) knife

Awesome Chuck and one of my favorite styles of sheaths....A hunter/butcher in a tacked up case just looks....right!
My peening of tacks leaves a lot to be desired but you make it look easy.....

Chuck a thing of beauty. My favorite style of knife and sheath.  A sheath of that design was actually the first leather item I ever made in the year of '72. Of course mine was not that nice. but held up for years.
