You didn’t stray Ed…its about the leather.
Here is the one that hooked me many years ago


He never cut the V's in. I saw the way the V's were cut in on some tabs sticking out of a Bolin Saddle...thought it was a little better

the V cut ends look way better imo. btw, when I reverse engineered the deal in my mind, I didn't punch holes, I just made parallel slits. Worked on the thin stuff ok.

Wow...now that's a knife, JpN.

Thanks for the compliments guys on my try...it took about 4 go arounds to get it close to what I liked. I have really been enjoying carring the 4inch Reeese and thought it needed some leather. Thanks again, JpN.

Quite true - but it's also advertising of a sort (not that you're exactly hurting for recognition these days ) - and a confirmation of your belief in the quality and integrity of your own work.

I can't carry across the counter anymore, they just don't do it for me.


Ha! Tony, yours and Reese's work has done that to a lot of us here.

More than simply the thought that a maker *should* carry his own work, that it should mean that much to him - and possibly make him a better maker for experiencing his own work over time and use -- there is always the thought, in my mind anyway, that if the maker cannot make himself his own "dream knife" (or at least one he really enjoys carrying and using) - then how could he possibly make such a knife for *me*?
