:biglaugh:  Sounds like me, to me, Ron - though I have done a little better with remembering to take the camera with this year - and then to get it out of the truck and use it -   ;)

LOL - yeah, Ron - I got the PM notice just after I posted that. 1,000 go-mens, my friend, and thank you. Rushing to look, and take care of it now - (exit stage right).

(Oooops - still didn't work yet.)

yeah, Shell...you think they smoked that elk hide up to make it look old, or soaked it in tea or something..it sure has an aged look to it like it was made in 1800 doesn't it..and the quillwork is flawless...and the edge beading...a real craftsman...but then so are you, Shell.

Your work doesn't take a back seat to anyone's in my opinion.

as my good friend who collects SA Colts tells me every time we go out shooting

"who more worthy than I to wear the Blue off these babies!"

And thats the same position i take on life! I'm glad you used it and keep it goin, how would you feel if you were the knife? I'd rather be riding on a belt as opposed sitting in a display case or a drawer!

thats probably wierd, but hey... its just my .02!

Here's what Chuck had to say about the sheath and knife.

"The sheath liner is double thickness elk rawhide with a braintan buckskin piece sewn into place at the inside top. The cover is braintan buckskin dyed with walnut hull dye. The sash flap is a piece of buffalo rawhide. All sewing was done with linen or hemp thread or real elk sinew. The beads are antique 8/0 pound beads. The style and porcupine quillwork decoration is based on a couple of existing original 18th sheaths. The quills were dyed with natural dyes: the black/brown quills were dyed with a mix of walnut hulls and ground charcoal, the red with red ocher, and the yellow with rabbit brush, a local southwest member of the sunflower family. The cone tinklers are handmade brass with buffalo hair tufts, They are attached with linen cord through copper and antique glass pound beads."
BTW - the blade is based on the one excavated at Ft. Ticonderoga."
