rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2122 Loc: Ontario, Canada	First off I admit I have not looked for this information, but maybe someone knows the answer. Who did the embellishments on Tom Leschorn sheaths? Him, the sheath maker, out sourced or?

rodbrown Knife Enthusiast Registered: 12/11/05 Posts: 2122 Loc: Ontario, Canada	Thank you Tom. In your opinion, do you think this was the normal way Tom got and finished sheaths? I am interested as his knives and sheaths are rare and the workmanship superb, but I know very little about his work. _________________________ Rod Brown RKS 3846 RKCC CM-123 Whether you think you can or can not, you are right.

GCTom41 Knife Enthusiast Registered: 01/25/10 Posts: 2367 Loc: NY	A recent Leschorn at the show in FL was a Maurice Johnson Sheath and was left without the black refinish and was tanned at the Johnson shop. A pair of Leschorn Smitty's I had were Johnson tight-stitched Roughback sheaths. Another knife that I have is a Baby Dot Sheath. Most I have seen were unadorned stock sheaths.

crutchtip Knife Enthusiast Registered: 11/16/05 Posts: 2841	Rod - The thought is Maurice did the embellishment on the sheaths. tom - Johnson did not tan hides. He purchased his hides from Oak Leaf Leather, a tannery in St. Louis. _________________________ www.rmkcollector.com BUY-SELL-TRADE
