Jurassic World Knife Sheath and Multi-Tool Pouch
First off, you need to read this as I am not the original maker of the Jurassic Park Sheath and Leatherman Pouch. However, the legal licensing for the sheath and pouch have been passed to me by the original maker Dennis of Dragon Leatherworks in Oak Ridge, TN. Second, these are $150 each plus S&H. The Multi-tool pouch can be made to fit your particular tool. The sheath is specifically made for the knife made by Steve. The knife is custom made for the movie by Steve Auvenshine in Paris, Kentucky. The sheath and Leatherman pouch were made by Dennis in Oak Ridge, TN who had a business called Dragon Leatherworks (now gone unfortunately). As my company Dragonthorn...
Read MoreLeather Slip Knife Sheath with snap for Hartsook Skinner©
This leather slip knife sheath with a snap for Doug Hartsook’s Skinner© is a nice piece of work!, even if I do say so myself. The knife obviously speaks for itself. The sheath is another matter entirely. Allow me this opportunity to introduce Buck Early, sheath designer. Buck’s my best friend and we met through our love for knives. I will be featuring a few of Bucks designs as this webpage moves forward. Needless to say, the man has a brain for sheath design. This piece is made of 5-6oz. oil tanned brown leather and is lined with a butterscotch suede. I have perfected a technique whereby the lining does not need to be stitched to the outer shell in order to...
Read MoreSlip Sheath
A Slip Sheath is a simple yet elegant way to show off a knife that you may not carry often. This particular sheath was made for a knife created by Russell Gale, Custom Woodworker in Asheville, NC. Russell contacted me a while back as he was looking for a custom knife sheath maker to create a sheath for a knife he made for a customer in New Jersey. After communicating with the customer this is what we came up with. It is a simple slip sheath made of 3-4 oz. vegetable tanned tooling leather dyed a dark brown. The sheath is lined with red pigskin and the edges have been lightly dyed in order to show off the layering of the blade spacer and filet. I use vegetable tanned...
Read More“Hawg Hunter” Custom Leather Knife Sheath
Honestly, this one was fun. Received a telephone call from a gentlemen in West Virginia that wondered if I could do something “interesting” for his Tops Prather War Bowie. He and his buddy like to hog hunt (hawg as we say it in the south). He wanted something in leather vs. the nylon sheath that comes with it. He also wanted to be able to carry it vertical or horizontal on his belt or pack and to be able to strap it to his leg. I have also included images of his buddies sheath to show the variation based on different knives in the same sheath style. This custom leather knife sheath has the capability to accomplish all of the above. This sheath is constructed...
Read MoreHandgun Holster “Bed Glove”
Here’s something really different and practical. This “Handgun Holster” was made for a friend of mine. She lives alone and likes to keep a bit of protection in the bedside table drawer. Late at night, groggy as we all probably are, a holster and snap is not something you want to mess with (nor a box, or having it loose to move around) when you hear something go “bump” in the night. This piece is made with an oil tanned 4-5oz. brown leather side (very soft and supply). It is lined with short-hair sheepskin (feels much better late at night when you reach into something soft and cozy to get your “protection”). This item can be made...
Read MoreLeather EDC Set
Leather EDC Set, who doesn’t need EDC (Every Day Carry) pouches to carry the sundry of stuff that you need every day? I am going to do this post a bit differently than most. The set pictured was commissioned by a gentleman in Plymouth, England that operates a professional plumbing and heating company in the UK. Why no air conditioning you ask? You have to live there to understand (I did, for 3 years and it’s beautiful, but not hot). The client needed a set of pouches to carry his Wiha bit driver set, the wallet; his HDS 250 flashlight (called a torch in the UK), the taller sleeve; and his Bose bluetooth headset, the small belt pouch. Sounds like EDC to me!...
