Very cool! I actually used to do 3D Archery when I lived in Illinois, and for a while I was consistently over 300, so I felt pretty happy about that. I used a cheap Parker Buckhunter, and I did have a wrist sling on it a lot like that first one! ~Noah

Hello everyone, Out of curiosity, how do you package your work for shipping? Flat rate box with bubble wrap? Custom fitted foam? Wooden crate? I use old laptop battery boxes for my sheaths, since they are the perfect size and already have foam that works well for them, then I print out...

Thanks, both of you! I get the horsehide from a supplier in NY who gets it from a tannery in Chicago :P. The supplier is Milton Sokol (also known as DeMar Leather), and if you call and ask for Mr. Olsen, he will hook you up :) ~Noah

Hello everyone, This is a sheath I made for a JK Handmade Knives Michigan Trail model that a member on another forum just had made. John, the knifemaker, isn't on here, but I figured it couldn't hurt to spread around the collaberation :P I used 7-9oz horsehide and hand stitched it with...

Beautifully done! ~Noah

Nice to see another leatherbender on here--I look forward to seeing your work. Welcome to the pack! ~Noah

I would be thrilled to test this for you! I use a knife every day for any number of odd jobs (despite my knife-shy coworkers :P), and something different would be nice. I haven't reviewed a knife before, but I have done a review on a martial arts uniform that I thought was pretty unbiased and...

I used PrintsMadeEasy.com, and they were great. Pretty fast, very reasonable prices, and their Customer Service page tells you the status of your order right down to when they cut the cards! ~Noah

Clip-pointed nessmuk kerambits? AWESOME! ~Noah

Very nice work! If I had the money, I'd probably see if I could commission you to make an eku (Okinawan oar/paddle) or two. ~Noah

Very nice, guys! I only have the front of mine digitized, unfortunately, but the back is the same background and similar font with my name, website, and contact info. I've been debating on the next ones having a background image of some of my leatherwork, but I'm bad at composition :P ~Noah

This is a little drawing that I found on another forum a while back that gives you kind of an idea of what to do. If you are just referring to stitching, then there are several ways to do it. You can do a running stitch or saddle stitch on a raised seam, or you can do a cross stitch or...

Hello Everyone, I was just curious what hobbies all the dogs here have outside of knifemaking/collecting? For instance, I do Judo (and I have a tournament Saturday :P) and I volunteer at a sanctuary for abandoned and abused domestic rabbits. What about you guys/gals? ~Noah

I'm not a sheath expert, by any means, but I can say that wet molding (forming) can close pores in the leather and make it take dye unevenly. I generally assemble the sheath, dye it, put it in water until bubbles stop coming out, let it dry somewhat so that it will stay where I mold it, and...

I have noticed the same thing when using the wool dauber, but packing 4 cotton balls together in a scrap of tee-shirt and tying it shut worked really well for me to get a lighter brown. ~Noah

It sounds like your cookies aren't enabled, or maybe you got a bad one from here. Have you made sure that cookies are enabled, or maybe tried clearing your cookies and trying again? ~Noah

Welcome! ~Noah

Thanks both of you! I've gotten that style of texturing and coloring pretty well down, but I tell ya, the dual carry belt loop on the back was a PAIN! ~Noah

Can't see yours--I think your pictures might be set to Friends Only, or the link is bad--it just takes me to my Facebook home. Maybe try switching it to Everyone, or posting them on an image host like tinypic.com? ~Noah

Hi Rusty, While I am rather new to this forum, I would certainly love to review your knife, but I understand if you'd rather I didn't :P. These sorts of opportunities are always great, and very informative to watch, so participating is sure to be fun. Thanks! ~Noah
