Sheath for my Texas Toothpick.....

[Arizona Cattleman]

I am not sure I did a great job on this, looks good but the knife is hard to get in.  Need to add some longer copper rivets than I have to protect the stiching and try to wet mold to the blade.

AC dont know how the knife fits but its a nice lookin sheath. Like the fringe. KT

[Arizona Cattleman]

Kid, I got so much leather in this it's over a half inch thick.  I lined it and I think that was where I should have just used spacers instead of a lining.  I think I can fix it but I'll have to remove the stiching and cut out some of the lining.  First I am going to try to wet mold it, by wrapping tape around the blade to make it thicker.

   It looks very nice AC, you did a good job on putting it together, like that fringe, if you wrapped the blade in tape, just let it camp out in the sheath for a while, and the leather should train itself over time.

AC you should have put in a spacer but I agree with TW. He taught me the trick of wrapping your gun or knife if it is a little tight and it will stretch and keep its larger size. Might take a few days or more but it works good. Will save you the work of taking it apart.I didnt think I was smart enough to learn But TW is a great teacher. Thanks TW. KT

That looks good, AC. The dark sheath with the contrasting fringe is a nice look. The tape should work fine. I've fit them by just wet molding it and working the knife in it until it loosens up.

Nice work AC. That is going to work real well with that big ol' pigsticker. Just do all of us a big favor and don't ever squat down with that thing on yer hip.

I designed it to fit cross draw on my gun belt on the back at a cant, to clear the saddle.   Still awfull big.

If you ever get in a tight situation, you won't need a gun if you have that knife with you. Just draw it out, and the bad guys will fall over in a dead faint out of fear! You did good on that sheath. JD

[Kid Terico]

AC dont listen to those guys. Its not that big , on the other hand if u get bucked off your horse you can save money by not having to buy a cane, you already got one. KT

I have a serious question: why a safety strap on a knife that long? 

[Arizona Cattleman]

  Don't want know one to sneak up behind me an pull it, covering all my bases...Ha Ha!

If they're good enough to sneak up on you that close they can kill you with a stick and take the knife off your carcass at their leisure.
