GRANSFORS SFA bespoke Mask with initials

[topknot]

The mask is made from 3.5mm leather, double thick around the front part this will give more leather on the safety side.
The axe mask is 5 layer at the front and bottom, the hole are all Awl by hand (No drilling of holes). All hand stitched with tiger thread (i do not rate linen thread on working leather stuff, that's just me)
The customer wanted his initials tooled in and dyed black, and with a plaited strap.
The colour is mid brown with black stitching and is sealed inside and out.

Thank you for looking
All comments welcome

Cheers

Andy I really love the sheath, and I love the braided strap really nice touch, also the little pointy shape in the fifth layer looks amazing, jet I find the initials a pity I like the sheath to much probably, would have like the initials smaller and more subtle, but of course customer is king right ^^
Yours sincerely Ruud
