Hawk mask

[bikebum1975]

Ok guys did a bit of work to my hawk tonight first hacked off a few inches on the handle then whipped it with some bankline and made a leather mask from it scrounged the leather from an old soft briefcase a buddy gave me while back. first time working it yep it looks like hell but it'll do

Indeed there are two types of gear, lookers and purely functional. and if it does the job it does the job right.
Yet the little materialist inside me always wants to make something epic, that is why my "little"project tend to run for at least 5 months ^^
Yours sincerely Ruud

It does the job and stops the blade cutting you or your pack, but if this is very sharp please be carefully that I'd does not come loose, and cuts your hand my friend.
there is a great stitch that's very useful and easy for this type of sheath, it's called the baseball stitch, I'm not sure if that's what you have used, but works a treat.
take care.

Hi mate if you can make this you can certainly make a gb one bud, you already have the confidence to make this, just keep trying, and you will be surprised what you can achieve.
take care, and good luck with your leather work.
