All items are hand sewn using waxed linen thread, dyed, then treated with neatsfoot oil & bee’s wax. The leather used is of veg. tanned cow hide 2-3 or 4-5 oz. weight.

Large Order Finished
I met up with a gentlemen at Prickets fort and he gave me three axes and three knives in which he wanted sheath made for them.
So for the axes, I made up the two to be carried on the right side under the shot bag. The third a small tomahawk I made up a separate blade cover so that the ax can be carried tucked in ones belt or sash, or carried over on shoulder, either right or left side. All three have a Iron buckles to make the straps adjustable.
As for the knives, I tried to make up simple sheaths that fit the style of knife.
