Wow thats gorgeous
If I send you my Thermorun POS Leon do you fancy working your magic
Red
Red I am working on rehandling F1's which have hade the thermorun removed, but to be honest at the moment I am not to good with it. I need a couple of bits of kit that I cannot get hold of untill the new year, after that and a trial run though I'll let you know.
Thanks for the comments, they are appreciated. A debt of thanks is actually owed to Marts who provided the dye, thanks mate you're a star. As you said I am beginning to get the hang of that colour dye ('tis actually dark brown
) and it is the very bugger to get even.
A quick run down of the knife/sheath;
F1 Blade
.
1.5mm red vulcanised fibre liners.
African ebony with heartwood (heartwood is the white bit).
7/32 stainless and brass mosaic pins and a lined lanyard hole.
The main body of the sheath is made from 5.5/6mm veg tanned leather. In places I was stitching through 5 layers. One brass D-ring leading onto a 3.5mm veg tanned hanging loop. The colour obviously is Dark Brown.
Neil and I had been talking about doing this for a long time (possibly a year or more), recently he chose the wood and decided that he would like red fibre liners, I made the sheath to try to complement the knife and the belt, but due to working on a different design for possibles pouches Neil got a prototype that matches the belt and sheath also.
Don't you dare turn that knife into a draw queen bro'
I have another that will be sent out so the recipient will get it for Christmas, another one of the mods and a very good friend. I just need to know whether they are left or right handed for final adjustments to the knife and sheath (strange I have never noticed
).
