Nope & Nope…Trevor is not carrying that, or any other knife right now. You need to know what your dealing with before you let him take off in the woods with that..He can sharpen a knife better than most…kinda scary

I don’t carry a BP anymore….I love big knives, but don’t really need or like carrying them..too much hardware. I carry a Wharncliffe Trapper in D-2 that I made and that’s enough for me. In the past when I did try,…. I carried a few Bose, then I made my own, carried some of these (knives with tons of mistakes).

I think it’s a great hobby collecting knives, but a maker…even a wanna be like me should carry his own.

Good Lookin blades John..Trevor must gets his skills from his old man..
but its almost criminal not to cary that Stag BP..surrender that knife sir and you will not face charges

I have had people tell me it doesn't cost me anything to carry my own knives but it cost me as much as anyone, if I wasn't carrying it I would be selling it. I can't carry across the counter anymore, they just don't do it for me.

OK...guys, here is a quick and not so good pic of my effort yesterday. Not too excited about the color of this leather but it was the thinnest strongest stuff I could find. I needed it thin to fit in the smaller lanyard hole of this great 4inch RB stag Millenium I have been carrying.


Thanks JpN for the run through.

An thanks Tony for chiming in on the forums...I really like it when I see his name up (hope its really him ).

Whatchu talking bout Willes…that looks Great!

JT, good first effort on the thong, but you need to send that knife back. The edges are all fuzzy.

JPN, I've also seen instructions for that thong in some old leathercraft books. What I haven't seen is the reason to use it...always thought it was just for decoration... or the idea of wetting the leather first. I'll have to give that a try. Tell Trevor I'll trade him an X-box for that BP if he wants.

Thanks Dwight for the kind words. You make a lot of sense.
My EDC may have a few (a lot) of mistakes…but I made them so I can’t complain. Making knives has given me a whole new appreciation for the small things that makers put into their work. Recently I saw a pearl scale with a Shield inlayed in it…totally blew me away. It truly was a work of art. Without trying to do that I would have never know how tuff it is/was….

Ed, you may get farther with a Wii...but I doubt it.

me like! Trevor has a nice knife and made by his dad...even better.

I don't currently have a leather thong on a bose knife, but here's one I made for a different knife. Forgive me for straying again.
